for Kindergarten students.

Any student falling in the “Some Risk” and “High Risk” categories would require
an IRIP in the Winter.

Criteria:
Given the 3 EasyCBM Benchmark Assessments, the minimum
requirement would be either 1 of the 3 scores falling in the red
category, or 2 of the 3 scores falling in the yellow category.

 STEP 3 IRIP GUIDANCE
IRIP Step 3 is only 1 question (Yeah!). You are only providing an update on your
student’s progress monitoring results.

If all of the data from the Step 1 Assessment and Step 2 Assessments have stayed the
same, there is no need to change anything.

Here is the 1 question to answer for Step 3:
