Fuchs, Lynn S.; And Others – Exceptional Children, 1985
Special education students (N=58) for whom teachers assessed baseline performance and set reading goals employing a standard format were assigned to goal ambitiousness groups. Teachers implemented students' goals, end-of-treatment goal mastery was determined, and pretest and posttest achievement scores were examined. Analyses revealed that…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; And Others – 1988
The study assessed the effects of alternative goal structures within curriculum based assessment (CBA) in the area of math. Subjects were 30 elementary level special education teachers, assigned randomly to a dynamic goal CBA, static goal CBA, or control group for 15 weeks. Two pupils in each class were identified to evaluate the effects of the…

The study assessed effects of computer assisted or noncomputer assisted curriculum-based measurement (CBM) on the instructional planning of 30 special education teachers. After 12-15 weeks, analysis indicated no differences between the CBM groups but compared to a contrast group, CBM teachers used more specific goals and monitored student programs…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; And Others – Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, 1991
Nineteen special educators implemented Curriculum-Based Measurement with a total of 36 learning-disabled math pupils in grades 2-8 to examine the effects of goal line feedback. Results indicated comparable levels and slopes of student performance across treatment conditions, although goal line feedback was associated with greater performance…
