District 11 Quick Guide to Benchmark, Strategic Monitor, and Intensive Progress Monitor Data Entry Using DIBELS Criteria to Make Instructional Decisions In some of these reports it is essential that you select the DIBELS criteria for making instructional recommendations and generating the report. The AIMSWeb system defaults to the AIMSWeb expectations, so in some cases youll have the report generated, and then have to make these corrections and redisplay the report. This is particularly true in the Instructional Recommendation report And in the Summary of Impact of Instructional Program report. It is also critical in this report that you change the Targets from AIMSWeb Norms to DIBELS Benchmark Goals. After you have generated any reports, either individual, group, or classroom, you will need to use the green-tab, Back button to return to the class list and continue working.
