This spreadsheet is to be used as an adjunct to the Fastbridge/MTSS Student Success system for monitoring the progress of students whose performance is below benchmark (A-Risk or Persistantly At-Risk) on FAST Universal Screening measures. While the Fastbridge/MTSS Student Success progress monitoring graph continues to be the primary tool that teachers will use to analyze progress monitoring data, and the success of instruction in closing the gap, this spreadsheet can enable teacher teams to view the relative progress of all students at once so conversations regarding changes to interventions, and resource allocation can more easily occur. This spreadsheet contains space for teacher teams to identify the student's current reading status, as well as the ability to document information such as current intervention, interventionist, intervention duration, staff responsible for progress monitoring and any changes made to the intervention based upon ongoing data review.

Weekly progress monitoring data for each student will need to be manually entered into the spreadsheet cell which corresponds to the current week. This spreadsheet spans from the time period after the fall screening to the winter screening period. After completing a progress monitoring event using the Fastbridge system, the raw score for that particular event will be entered into this spread sheet.

To assist in data analysis, the progress monitoring data fields in this spreadsheet have been conditionally formatted to provide users with a cell color that corresponds to growth toward Winter benchmark levels for a particular monitoring subtest and grade level. Upon entering student performance data from a progress monitoring event, the cell will assume a color based upon the following bands of performance using Fall to Winter normative data.

15
Performance that is below the 10th percentile rank
16
Performance that is between the 10th and 19th percentile
17
Performance that is between the 20th and 29th percentile
18
Performance that is between the 30th and 39th percentile
19
Performance that is above the 40th percentile and at or above Winter benchmark levels

Please note that Iowa only uses the "above benchmark" or "below benchmark" dicotomy. For students who are below benchmark, Iowa requires that progress monitoring and perhaps additional instruction be provided to these students. Iowa does not further differentiate levels of functioning for "below benchmark" students. Thus, these performance bands are to be considered only as one way to allow educators to make decisions regarding the growth of groups of students on a combined spreadsheet and is not to be considered to be formally part of the Iowa's data management system for universal screening or progress monitoring.
