easyCBM™, The University of Oregon, and Riverside
Brief History of easyCBM
easyCBM was first developed at the University of Oregon in 2006 with a federal grant for a Model Demonstration Project on Progress Monitoring in Early Literacy in a Response to Intervention Framework. Since then, easyCBM has grown to encompass both Reading and Mathematics for Grades K–8, delivering instructionally relevant data for students, educators, and administrators. Many districts have adopted easyCBM due to the testimonials and excitement initially generated by their own local educators.
The University of Oregon and its College of Education are nationally respected institutions dedicated to instruction and research that meet the needs of children and families across the country.
Riverside, part of the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Education Group, is a global leader in educational assessment. Chosen as the exclusive distributor of the easyCBM platform, Riverside is dedicated to bringing this product to schools and districts around the world.
