What is AIMSweb?
AIMSweb is a web-based benchmark and progress monitoring system based on direct, frequent and continuous student assessment.
The results are reported to students, parents, teachers and administrators via a web-based data management and reporting system to determine response to instruction.

You have this…
What can you doing now to get things started? Three main things.
1. Identify Two LAMs for Your School LAM = Local AIMSweb Manager(s)
Will attend Day 1 and Day 2 “Train-the-Trainer” sessions (register for Day 1 now)
Will train your staff Will support implementation at your school Will attend Regional LAMs meetings
throughout the year Will be the conduit between Literacy Team
and your school on AIMSweb
2. Begin thinking about structures for training staff and assessing students
Hear from experienced AIMSweb users today See similarities to what you are already
doing with DIBELS (see assessment chart) Review screening windows (see chart) Let NC Wise Data Manager know about
upcoming task involving loading students
3. Recognize how AIMSweb will make what you are already doing better
Saves time and money (view browser-based scoring samples)
Makes data accessible at the touch of a button Provides powerful reporting options Allows you to compare your students to the district
and the nation Provides district-level data to help guide decisions
about support, resources, and training
