The Components to ImproveStudent Success
High-quality classroom instruction Tiered instruction/intervention Ongoing student assessment
the type and intensity of intervention needed for each student to succeed
Family Involvement
From RTI Action Network, www.rtinetwork.org/
Formative assessments are…
…assessments FOR learning that measure a few things frequently.
…timely in-process measurements that can inform teachers individually and collectively regarding the effectiveness of their practice.
-Dufour, Dufour, Eaker & Many
“… When studentsare involved in the assessment process in this manner,their achievement skyrockets– incidentally, with thelargest achievement score gains coming from perenniallow achievers.”
-Dr. Rick Stiggins

Benchmarking/Universal Screening Tools: Examples
DIBELS DIAL 3 AIMSweb MAP Curriculum-based measures (CBMs);
teacher-created from curricular materials vocabulary, reading, writing, math,
behaviors www.interventioncentral.org is a resource
Progress Monitoring Tools: Examples Formal types:
CBM’s Curriculum Based Measures - DIBELS,
Aimsweb, Teacher made
Informal types: White Boards Exit slips Student work samples Listening Questioning Prior Knowledge Anecdotal Notes
How to Gather Data:
Formative Assessment Key Characteristics Quick: In terms of gathering and
evaluating Timely: Turn around is immediate
and informs instructional practice and student needs
Meaningful: data is collected to be used, not to warehouse
How to Gather Data:
Formative Assessment Example/Activity
One-minute timed reading test Delivered and scored Data recorded and displayed It is not the forms that are important, it is
the analysis and subsequent action!
Let’s Gather Some Data!!
On your sticky notes
No name Just total words read And % of accuracy
▪ Total words read correctly divided by Total words read per minute.
Turn and Talk
Importance of fidelity
Why use the SAME assessment tool versus different tools?
Progress monitoring is always done at the instructional level of the student
Benchmarking is always against the GLE standard (grade level)
Analyzing the Data:Create a Data Display Activity
Purpose is to create discussion points around:
1. What do we expect students to learn?2. How will we know if they learn it?3. How do we respond when students
experience difficulty in learning? 4. How do we respond when students do
learn?

Interpreting the Data: Aim Lines How to set aim lines…
See handout
Why set aim lines…?
Determine if the student is making adequate progress….▪ If 4 of the last 6 data points are above the aim line, the student is
doing better than expected and it may be necessary to raise the goal.
▪ If 4 of the last 6 data points are below the aim line, the student is not making adequate progress.
▪ If the data points are along the aim line, the student is progressing right on target
Efficient and Effective
Use tried and true assessments to give maximum information Measure + Anecdotal notes (running
records)▪ Slow and accurate▪ Fast but inaccurate
Keep your eye on the target▪ What do you need to know about your
teaching?▪ What do you need to know about this learner?
Know how you will use this information!
