Curriculum-Based Measurement: Facilitating Dynamic, Outcomes-Based Consultation

Abstract
The use of Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) in a data-based problemsolving framework is described as an approach to instructional consultation. This approach .emphasizes a clear focus on improving student outcomes as a criterion for consultation success, and it provides procedures for formative evaluation to occur during the consultation process. A case study is described to illustrate the use of CBM data at each stage of the data-based, problem-solving consultation perspective.
