Monitor Sheet

Mastery of pretest skills can be recorded for each student on the Monitor Sheet. The Monitor Sheets are matched to the sequence of the Flowchart and maintain the same color coding for ease of use.

A complete Monitor Sheet allows the teacher to see student initial placement and progress at a glance. This information drives instruction by placing students in the proper instructional groups and provides the necessary data for detailed content discussions with students and parents. An example is shown below.

Student’s Name / 2.OA.2 Fluently add and subtract within 20 / 2.MD.8 Solve word problems involving money / 2.MD.4 Measure to determine how much longer one object is than another
Shonda Anders / M / M /
Tarra Davis
Greyson Roberts / M /

M = Mastery of Content/Skills = Progress Made

Figure 9: Counting and Cardinality

This sample shows the initial placement of each student. The M’s show initial pretest placement. Shonda pretested out of the first two columns and began instruction in the third column. The represents progress made after instruction. Shonda is progressing well.

Tarra could not accomplish any of the pretest items. She begins instruction in the first column. She is not showing any progression, yet the Monitor Sheet shows that other students have had time to progress. Intervention is necessary at this point.

Greyson pretested out of the first column and progressed out of the second column.

The teacher can use this data to discuss specific content progress data with parents, intervention specialists and talented and gifted teachers.
