What Does the Gap in the Graph Indicate?

What Does the Gap in the Graph Indicate?

Overview
If you notice a gap in a student's progress monitoring graph, it may raise questions about testing consistency or data accuracy. This article explains what these gaps mean and when they are expected.


Steps to Understand the Graph Gap

  1. Identify the Gap
    Look at the student’s progress monitoring graph for any breaks in the line.

  2. Understand the Timing
    A gap typically means the student began testing during the previous school year and resumed testing in the current one.

  3. Confirm No Testing Occurred During the Gap
    The line break indicates that no progress monitoring tests were administered during that period.


Additional Notes

These gaps are a visual representation of a pause in testing, not an error. No action is required if this gap aligns with the school calendar or student absence.
