What is CBM?The purpose of Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) is to improve student performance. Using CBM, teachers are able to create a database for each student to allow the teacher to evaluate the effectiveness of the student’s individual education program. Within this framework, the teacher can systematically test alternative approaches with a student to discover which approach yields the greatest gains. The data also can be useful in problem solving. Finally, CBM data have been useful in screening students who are at risk for school failure, and for evaluating placement in special education and reintegration into the regular education programs.
