Curriculum-based measurement (CBM)

Curriculum-based measurement (CBM) – a method of monitoring student progress through direct and continuous assessment of academic skills. CBMs are standardized, timed assessments that assess student performance against criterion-referenced benchmarks and national norms. CBMs are most often used to measure basic skills in reading and mathematics.
