The emergence of response to intervention (RTI) models of service delivery has resulted in widespread use of curriculum-based measurement (CBM) to make high-stakes educational decisions. This paper presents the results of an exploratory study investigating integrity in the administration of CBM. Assessment integrity rates were measured through observation of CBM administration at three public K-12 schools. Questionnaire and interview data were collected to measure variables thought to relate to integrity: training, acceptability, attitude toward integrity, adequacy of time, and administrator support. Statistical analysis did not reveal significant relationships between assessment integrity and those variables. Descriptive analyses of the results reveal significant departures from standardized assessment procedures and suggest needed reforms to ensure the defensibility of decisions made using CBM data.
