Direct linkVanDerHeyden, Amanda M.; Burns, Matthew K.; Peltier, Corey; Codding, Robin S. – Communique, 2021
This article is the second of a series of articles appearing in "Communiqué" about how school psychologists can adopt and promote the evidence-based practices in math assessment and instruction. The focus of this article is on measuring math skills for screening, diagnostic decisions, and progress monitoring. [For the first article in…

Peer reviewedVanDerHeyden, Amanda M.; Burns, Matthew K.; Bonifay, Wesley – School Psychology Review, 2018
Screening is necessary to detect risk and prevent reading failure. Yet the amount of screening that commonly occurs in U.S. schools may undermine its value, creating more error in decision making and lost instructional opportunity. This 2-year longitudinal study examined the decision accuracy associated with collecting concurrent reading screening…

Preast, June L.; Taylor, Crystal N.; Brann, Kristy L.; Aguilar, Lisa N.; Kilgus, Stephen P.; Burns, Matthew K. – Journal of Applied School Psychology, 2023
The purpose of this study was to examine: (1) the effect of a reading intervention based on reading need compared to a mismatched behavior intervention; and (2) the effect of an academic behavior intervention based on behavior need in comparison to a mismatched reading intervention. Six students took part in the multiple baseline study. Half of…

Preast, June L.; Burns, Matthew K.; Brann, Kristy L.; Taylor, Crystal N.; Aguilar, Lisa – School Psychology Forum, 2019
Teachers can potentially address reading comprehension deficits in a content area, such as science, by using the students in their classrooms as resources. We examined the effects of a class-wide partner reading intervention with science reading materials on a measure of content comprehension skills. A total of 65 fourth-grade students and 61…

Scholin, Sarah E.; Burns, Matthew K. – Psychology in the Schools, 2012
Curriculum-based measurement is commonly used within a response-to-intervention framework to assess the effectiveness of intervention and to triage students into intervention tiers (e.g., the lowest 10% receive a Tier 3 intervention, and those in the 11th to 25th percentiles receive a Tier 2 intervention). We conducted a meta-analysis of 18…

Burns, Matthew K.; Taylor, Crystal N.; Warmbold-Brann, Kristy L.; Preast, June L.; Hosp, John L.; Ford, Jeremy W. – Psychology in the Schools, 2017
Intervention researchers often use curriculum-based measurement of reading fluency (CBM-R) with a brief experimental analysis (BEA) to identify an effective intervention for individual students. The current study synthesized data from 22 studies that used CBM-R data within a BEA by computing the standard error of measure (SEM) for the median data…

Parker, David C.; McMaster, Kristen L.; Burns, Matthew K. – School Psychology Review, 2011
The instructional level is helpful when identifying an intervention for math or reading, but researchers have yet to investigate whether the instructional-level concept can be applied to early writing. The purpose of this study was to replicate and extend previous research by examining technical features of potential instructional-level criteria…

Performance Indicators in Math: Implications for Brief Experimental Analysis of Academic Performance
VanDerheyden, Amanda M.; Burns, Matthew K. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2009
Brief experimental analysis (BEA) can be used to specify intervention characteristics that produce positive learning gains for individual students. A key challenge to the use of BEA for intervention planning is the identification of performance indicators (including topography of the skill, measurement characteristics, and decision criteria) that…

Parker, David C.; Burns, Matthew K.; McMaster, Kristen L.; Shapiro, Edward S. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2012
Early writing interventions can help students develop the writing skills they need to experience positive educational and postsecondary outcomes, but effective intervention requires instructionally relevant assessment data. Shapiro's curriculum-based assessment (CBA) model integrates related yet distinct CBA approaches into a model that informs…

Brundage, Amber; Beckmann-Bartlett, Carol; Burns, Matthew K. – Communique, 2010
In January 2008, the school-wide data for Alice Birney Middle School in North Charleston, South Carolina were concerning. According to the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Reading data, 40% to 48% of the students fell below the 25th percentile at each grade level. The authors realized that these students were not all undiagnosed special…

Burns, Matthew K. – School Psychology Quarterly, 2007
Curriculum-based assessment assesses the match between curriculum and student skill by computing the percentage of known words in a reading task and comparing it to the instructional level criterion of 93% to 97% known. The current study examined the effect of preteaching unknown words to 29 third-grade children identified as learning disabled…

Burns, Matthew K.; Codding, Robin S.; Boice, Christina H.; Lukito, G. – School Psychology Review, 2010
Implementation of effective interventions relies on the use of assessment data to adequately describe the learning problem and offer potential solutions. The use of curriculum-based assessment and measurement when combined with the learning hierarchy could offer a paradigm for decision making based on a skill-by-treatment interaction.…

Treptow, Megan A.; Burns, Matthew K.; McComas, Jennifer J. – School Psychology Review, 2007
The current study replicated Gickling and Armstrong (1978) by using curriculum-based assessment for instructional design to match reading materials to skill levels of three third-graders who were struggling readers with low levels of on-task behavior. Difficulty levels of the reading passages were grouped according to ratios of known and unknown…
