What is the purpose of progress-monitoring measures in universal screening?

Progress monitoring measures in universal screening are used to watch how a student’s skills grow over time and to use that information to adjust instruction or interventions. These quick, frequent checks show whether a student is responding to what’s being taught and help determine if the current intervention needs to be intensified, changed, or continued. They aren’t about assigning grades, comparing schools, or determining funding; those decisions come from other processes. By tracking progress over time, teachers can make informed, timely instructional adjustments to support each learner.
