BACKGROUND
Within the multi-tiered framework for instruction that the LAUSD has adopted,
data-based decision making and progress monitoring are key components in
evaluating students’ response to instruction and intervention. According to the
Reading/Language Arts Framework for California Public Schools, instruction and
assessment are inextricably linked within any curriculum. Because they inform
instruction, the following assessments are crucial to achieving the EnglishLanguage Arts Content Standards: baseline and benchmark assessments, progressmonitoring assessments, and end-of-year assessments.
In a RtI2 Response to Instruction and Intervention (RtI2 ) framework, Tier 2 and
Tier 3 interventions increase time and intensity of instruction with more frequent
progress monitoring. Close monitoring, data collection, and analysis allow for the
timely adjustment of curriculum, instruction, and intervention, and ensure the
integrity of implementation.
II. DATA-BASED DECISION MAKING: ASSESSMENT ADMINISTRATION
Within the LAUSD’s multi-tiered framework for instruction, progress monitoring
is an integral tool for informing instruction and data-based decision making.
During the course of the school year, students will fluidly move between tiers as
data indicates a need for more or less intensive intervention.

III. ASSESSMENT TYPES AND PURPOSES
1. Benchmark Assessments: Benchmark Assessments are administered three to
four times a year, at the beginning, middle and end of the year or once per
quarter. Benchmark assessments are determined by the particular course. In
some cases (e.g., READ 180, LANGUAGE !) Benchmark Assessments are
embedded in the curriculum. In other cases, Benchmark Assessments may be
designed using the tools on the CoreK12 webpage. In Tier 2 classes,
Benchmark Assessments include the Secondary Periodic Assessments in
addition to assessments associated with the intervention curriculum.
2. Progress-Monitoring Assessments: Progress-Monitoring Assessments serve
many purposes. They measure student progress toward focused, predetermined benchmarks and provide visual representation, in graphic form, of
student progress towards those benchmarks. They also provide teachers with a
comprehensive picture of each student’s learning, which ensures a timely
response to instruction and intervention when students’ understanding begins
to break down. Teachers can take immediate and effective action to address
each student’s specific needs. Another important use for Progress-Monitoring
Assessments is as a tool for reflection upon practice, upon the impact of
instruction on student learning, and upon the effectiveness of instructional
methods and materials in meeting student needs. Progress-Monitoring
Assessments include multiple measures and focused assessments that measure
student progress in a variety of ways (e.g., on select standards, through
multiple modes, etc.). Teachers should administer these assessments at weekly
or bi-weekly intervals to keep abreast of student needs.
3. Diagnostic Assessments: Diagnostic Assessments are used when a student’s
understanding begins to break down. These assessments are used as needed
and do not follow a set pattern of administration. When progress-monitoring
and classroom performance indicate that a student has begun struggling,
teachers need to be able to diagnose the area and cause of his or her struggle.
Rather than simply measuring a student’s levels of success with given
elements of content, Diagnostic Assessments are designed to target specific
skills or concepts that students may lack.
To access Tier 2 Benchmark, Progress-Monitoring and Diagnostic
Assessments, log in to the LAUSD/CoreK12 website at:
http://lausd.corek12.com.
IV. Intervention Options
Schools have multiple options when deciding how best to address Tier 2 and Tier
3 Intervention. Two options supported by the LAUSD are shown in Attachment
A1. Whatever method a school chooses to use to provide intervention must
include these three types of assessment, and all assessment data must be used to
inform instruction.

MEMORANDUM
Students in Tier 2 intervention must be programmed into a Core Language Arts
class as well as an intervention elective. In addition to any assessments given as a
part of intervention (e.g., MAZE Measures), these students are also instructed and
assessed using the grade level Instructional Guides and the Secondary Periodic
Assessments and Core K-12 Progress-Monitoring Assessments. Teachers should
supplement these assessments with quizzes or assignments designed to assess
students’ mastery of content at various points in the year. Structured intervention
programs have their own program-specific assessments embedded in the
curriculum. Both the Period Assessments and the MAZE Measures may be found
on the LAUSD/CoreK12 website.
For a description of the LAUSD Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions, see the
Intervention Course Overviews (Attachments A1).
For guidance with assessments and assessment windows for particular
intervention programs, see Attachments B1-D10
