Questions and Answers from the Webinar Sessions
Q: I work with middle school students working on Elem. Goals. Will easyCBM skills benefit them?
A: Yes, if their skill levels are within the difficulty areas represented in CBMSkills.
Q: What if I already have and EASYCBM account?
A: Go ahead and sign up and sign in with CBMSkills.com
Q: Can we see the questions and answers that the student are doing?
A: Yes. That’s the cool part of the teacher reports. Full item reviews are available.
Q: Will this take the place of easyCBM?
A: No. It is designed to be complementary with easyCBM but with a deeper dive into specific skills.
Q: Does EasyCBM Skills replace EasyCBM for the lower grade/ability levels?
A: No. It’s a complement.
Q: If you assign a module, does it test the student in this skill set?
A: Yes, each CBMSkills module contains many, many items. Students can attempt modules many times, with the goal of reaching mastery: Bronze, Silver, and hopefully Gold medals.
Q: If a student needs to be progress monitored weekly and the teacher runs out of tests is it okay to repeat modules
A: Yes, CBMSkills modules can be repeated.
Q: Are there plans for reading comprehension help?
A: Maybe in the future. We need to lock this version down first.
Q: I saw the Placement Test. Does that automatically create a module once they take it?
A: No. We will be recommending modules in the near future, perhaps as part of a Deluxe edition.
Q: Are progress monitoring graphs provided to chart student growth over time?
A: We anticipate adding a new student focused report to the system by the end 2023.
Q: How often do you recommend students spend in the CBMSkills program?
A: Let students and their performance be your guide. It is possible to get meaningful performance information with as little as 5-10 minutes every other day.
Q: Where do we submit feedback or ideas?
A: We love to hear from teachers: email us at support@cbmsills.com, and also look for future webinars and other opportunities.
Q: What is your advice with using this with children with different abilities?
A: Let students be your guide. Aid students wherever or whenever your believe it is needed so students have full access. We designed CBMskills to bridge assessment with interventions.
