Implementing Effective Teaching Strategies with Learning Disabled Students through Curriculum-Based Measurement

Effective teaching strategies are not new and are used by all teachers to some degree. Effective teachers, however, have been found to use these strategies in a systematic and regular way. Systematic and successful application of teaching strategies requires the use of performance data to guide teaching decisions. Computer application of Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) is presented as one methodology capable of providing the necessary link between student performance and instructional decision making. A case study in math is presented to show how CBM with computerized feedback systems can be used to systematically implement effective teaching strategies.
