NORMS

Assessment tool Document progress Provide insights into the child’s reading

strategies Plan for future instruction Find appropriate reading level of student To guide reading instruction

Purposes of Running Records:

Running records Anecdotal notes Text Level Line of Progression Student goals Graphs to chart student progress in specific

areas/skills Jan Richardson Progress Monitoring Tools (in book

and on website) Reading/writing journals Student work Guided Writing Journals from guided reading

Examples of Progress Monitoring Tools

Get in groups of 3 from colleagues in the same grade level. Make sure there are 3 different schools represented. Take your notebooks with you.

Share out the following information about your Progress Monitoring/Guided Reading

Notebooks:

How is your Progress Monitoring/Guided Reading Notebooks set up?

What forms do you use to monitor progress? How do you use the information to plan instruction or

teaching points in your guided reading? How do your tools help provide documentation for RtI

purposes?

Progress Monitoring Tools

It is a form of on-going formative assessment.

Addresses individual instructional needs & set appropriate goals

Provides documentation for RtI purposes

Why Progress Monitor????

What new tools did you find useful?

Any organizational tips that you can quickly implement?

What is one area for which you would like to make a goal for improvement?

Progress Monitoring Debrief

Netschool Resources for

Progress Monitoring

Individual goals for each student in reading & writing

Needs to be measurable/observable Based on Strategy or skill to move them

forward in their reading or writing Reading example: “Check the picture and get

my mouth read” vs. “Get to a level 14” or “Read 20 minutes each night”

Writing example: “Add details to my writing to make it more clear” vs. “write more sentences”

Setting Goals with Students

GREAT tool for goal setting!!!!

Kinder – look at pgs. 110-113 for Level 2/B 1st – Look at pgs. 124-127 for Level 10/F 2nd – Look at pgs. 144-147 for Level 20/K

*Take two minutes to look over goals * Mad Minute to discuss with table group

Continuum of Literacy Learning

Early Lesson Plan Teaching Points/Goals

Look at a JR lesson plan next to the Continuum of Literacy Learning

Kinder – Emergent Lesson Plan 1st – Early Lesson Plan 2nd – Transitional Lesson Plan

Put this lesson plan next to the page you turned to from the Continuum.

Note any similarities/differences you see in the goals from the Continuum to the “Teaching Points in the lesson plan

Let’s Compare

At your table, discuss similarities and differences between the lesson plan and the Continuum goals (Mad Minute)

Share out with whole group

Share out!

Option 1:

During the “Text Reading with Prompting”, if you see a pattern of prompting a student with the same prompt, stop and say, “I think this would be a great goal for you.”

Quickly model the strategy for the child, then add to their reading notebook or wherever student goals are stored. (See Netschool for Goal stickers if you like.)

One group of students may be working on the same goal at the same time to start (to help you get started)

Remind students to work on their goals and even read them out loud to themselves before independent, partner, or guided reading.

Check back in with the student in a few days to a week to see if they are applying the strategy with success. Take anecdotal notes on progress. Either keep working or set a new goal.

When Do I Set Reading Goals with Students?

Option 2:

After analyzing a running record of a student for miscues, pick one student a day to do a mini-conference before the GR lesson (2-3 min), and follow goal setting procedures on previous slide

When Do I Set Reading Goals with Students?

Option 3:

Reading Conference – set aside time to confer with students for 3-5 min individually for goal setting and/or check in.

When Do I Set Reading Goals with Students?

Goals for below level students: weekly Goals for on level: every two weeks Goals for above level: every three to four

weeks

SCHEDULE OR A SYSTEM! We must be intentional.

How often do I set goals with students?

Look at individual student writing/journals for patterns to be addressed either individually, in small writing groups, or with the entire class

Option 1: Individual writing conferences where you roam the room and stop for 2-3 min with several students; possibly pick one table a day to confer with

Option 2: Small writing groups (or during guided writing in the guided reading group time)

One group of students may be working on the same goal at the same time to start (to help you get started with goal setting)

Briefly model the strategy for the student(s) such as putting spaces between words, adding a hook to introduce my writing, etc.

Remind students to read their goals aloud to themselves to help them remember to work on their goals during writing time

Check back in with students in a few days or week to monitor progress. Take anecdotal notes to document progress.

SCHEDULE!!!

How Do I Set Writing Goals with Students?

On your name plate:

What is one goal you will set for yourself in regards to goal setting and/or progress monitoring?
