Can teachers become trained to use DIBELS for frequent progress monitoring of selected students?
Yes. Teachers should be supported in learning the DIBELS measures that are specific to their grade level. Once the reading coach or others on the assessment team have been trained to provide training to others, they can facilitate teacher training for more frequent, ongoing monitoring of student progress with the DIBELS measures. Materials for the more frequent, ongoing progress monitoring can be purchased from Sopris West or downloaded from the University of Oregon website.
