EFFECTIVE LITERACY INSTRUCTION?

As a group, students should maintain their achievement level (NCEs not Levels I-V) from one year to the next.

BUT, academically, students should not lose ground either.

mClass Benchmarks and Progress Monitoring

“Why should teachers be required to frequently assess each of their students?

Because proper use and implementation of formative and benchmark assessments lets the teacher know whether or not a student is mastering the objectives being taught and if not, to provide the teacher with information as to the child’s weaknesses so the instruction for the particular child can be tailored to meet the child’s education needs.”

Data is only valuable if

we use it to change student

outcomes.

ASSESSMENT IS

INSTRUCTION

READ AND DISCUSS AT YOUR TABLE

“The bottom line is that the principals that sit in the office, fail to analyze the assessment data at their fingertips and do not become proactive in seeing the K-3 assessment system is being properly and effectively used by all teachers to drive individualized instruction in literacy, are not performing at the level that is expected to provide their students and faculty with the leadership needed to be successful and have all children obtain a sound basic education and proficiency in reading. This principal is not a Leandro compliant principal” (p. 27).

“Bottom line requirement: Do the formative assessment and use the information to tailor instruction to meet the needs of the individual child. Do not put the data in the folder and continue on with the instruction for the entire class on one level. (What about this do you not understand?)”
