Transcript: Lynn Fuchs, PhD

Listen as Dr. Lynn Fuchs describes how teachers can communicate with others through the use of CBM graphs (time: 0:59).

CBM can be used in a similar way to share information with other professionals. So at IEP meetings, a CBM graph can be used to make very concrete information about what adaptations the teacher has already tried in her classroom and what the effects of those adaptations have been on student achievement. When I was a teacher and I was using CBM and would go into an IEP meeting, it was very persuasive to other professionals about the fact that I really had tried some adaptations and that they hadn’t been effective. And that can be an important source of documentation for a regular classroom teacher to have to make his or her case that a child actually needs additional resources, besides what she can provide in her own classroom to affect adequate growth.
