Developed specifically to overcome problems with traditional
standardized instruments, curriculum-based measurement (CBM) has
steadily increased in educational use. These brief assessment probes of
reading, spelling, written expression, and mathematics serve to quantify
student performance as well as to enhance academic achievement. Their
widening use as a means of evaluation and ultimately of instruction, has
created a corresponding need to expand the applications of this
methodology to diverse populations. This new volume addresses that need
by focusing on the broader application of CBM, providing practical new
measures, as well as detailing their use with specific student groups.
