Answer: The student's own baseline and individualized goals, not grade-level norms alone
For students with learning disabilities, individualized goal-referenced data is the most meaningful measure of progress.

Answer: An error analysis log categorizing mistake types across sessions
An error analysis log systematically categorizes error types, revealing persistent misconceptions that need targeted instruction.
What is the primary purpose of a baseline assessment at the start of a tutoring engagement?
Answer: To establish a starting point for measuring growth and to identify specific instructional targets
