Description

In this episode, Michelle is joined by instructional coach and literacy specialist Shannon Moore of Moore Literacy Leaps to bust four major myths about progress monitoring in reading instruction.

Together, they tackle what progress monitoring really is (and what it’s not), how it fits into the MTSS framework, and why all students, not just those below grade level, deserve targeted goals and regular check-ins.

Whether you're a classroom teacher, reading interventionist, or coach trying to find your rhythm with data collection and student support, this episode will leave you feeling empowered and equipped.

Key Takeaways:

  • The real definition of progress monitoring (hint: it’s simpler than you think!)
  • How to avoid common mistakes and save time with smarter systems
  • Why goal-setting and student ownership can change everything
  • What to track, how often to assess, and where to begin
  • Tools you can use right away to stay organized and proactive
