Abstract: A system for continuously evaluating the ongoing progress of each child in Project Follow Through classrooms that are involved in the Behavior Analysis Program is discussed briefly. The steps in the process are: (1) define an instructional objective; (2) record the weekly book and page placement of every child in the class on a special roster; (3) enter placements on a special progress chart; (4) translate the teacher's weekly placement information into pencil marks that are read by an optical scanning machine; (5) check the placements by computer to ascertain whether a child has exceeded or fallen short of his progress target for that week; (6) combine information concerning the child's recent progress history and his objective for the year, and set specific target for the coming week; and (7) telephone the new set of targets to a teletype in the local district so that, at the beginning of the next day, the teacher receives a new set of individualized targets for each child in the class.
