Which approach uses frequent progress monitoring within the actual curriculum to track learning?

• A. Generalization and maintenance
• B. Curriculum based measurement
• C. Explicit instruction
• D. Emotional or behavioral disorder

Answer: (B)

Progress monitoring embedded in the actual curriculum is being tested. Curriculum-Based Measurement uses brief, frequent assessments that are directly tied to what students are currently learning in class. Because the probes reflect the current instruction, teachers can chart performance over time and see quickly whether a student is making adequate progress, allowing timely instructional adjustments. This approach stays anchored in the classroom content rather than relying on external or isolated tests. Generalization and maintenance deal with applying skills across settings and over time, not the cadence of checks during ongoing instruction. Explicit instruction is a teaching method with clear modeling and guided practice. An emotional or behavioral disorder is a disability category, not a progress-monitoring method.
