Two forms of math curriculum-based measurement: An examination of predictive validity and teacher acceptability
School Psychology Ph.D. Curriculum-based measurement (CBM) is a fast, reliable, and valid set of procedures for measuring student progress in basic skills. However, the predictive validity of math computations and applications probes administered three times across the year (fall, winter, and spring...

School Psychology Ph.D. Curriculum-based measurement (CBM) is a fast, reliable, and valid set of procedures for measuring student progress in basic skills. However, the predictive validity of math computations and applications probes administered three times across the year (fall, winter, and spring) has not been compared to the TerraNova standardized assessment, nor has CBM's acceptability from corrective education teachers serving students out of the classroom been explored. In this study, nine corrective education teachers working in a large mid-Atlantic urban school district and providing corrective education services to private and parochial schools participated by administering math computations and concepts and applications CBM probes to second and/or third grade students three times.
