About Us
To meet the challenges of implementing effective progress monitoring, the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) has funded the National Center on Student Progress Monitoring. Housed at the American Institutes for Research, and working in conjunction with researchers from Vanderbilt University , we are a national technical assistance and dissemination center
dedicated to the implementation of scientifically based student progress monitoring.
The Center's mission:
The Center's mission is to provide technical assistance to states and districts and disseminate information about progress monitoring practices proven to work in different academic content areas (Gr. K-5).
The Student Progress Monitoring Center 's integrated program of services will:
- Raise knowledge and awareness by forming partnerships and communicating with States, districts, associations, technical assistance providers, institutions of higher education, and other interested groups;
- Provide implementation support for using and sustaining proven progress monitoring practices to States and districts; and
