The IRRRThe Individual Right Response Report
(IRRR) provides information about which items a student answered correctly and incorrectly on WESTEST 2. It also provides information about how those items map back to the CSOs and also contains each student’s writing scores for WESTEST 2 Online Writing.
What about APTA?APTA has an IRRR as well.Teacher must request IRRR form and
student answer sheet.Teacher completes the IRRR form.Training is available on this process.
TestMate ClarityTestMate Clarity has many very useful
reports for you to use in analyzing student data. One is the Student Item Report, which is essentially the same information from the IRRR. Another is the Group Item Report which gives snapshots of schools, classrooms, etc.

The most recent IEP should serve as the primary resource
Previous Annual Review IEP lists support for Reading in English, Science, Social Studies and Math
Direct Services provided: 1800 mpm RLA / comprehension support
2009 Assessments

Before drafting the Present Level statement;
Consider the commonalities across the areas of need
Arrange the narrative content to complement the data
Prioritize the areas of need that can have the most significant impact.
Organize the Data
Identify grade level expectations
Determine what concepts or CSOs were most commonly incorrect among “this” students peers
Highlight areas of discrepancy
Compare the discrepancies against “this” students previous educational goals
Consider new areas of need
Analyze the Data
Present Levels of Academic and Functional Performance should incorporate;
Substantiated,
Organized and
Analyzed data in order to provide a solid basis for annual goals.
Record the Data
Respond to the DataThe IEP team should;
Determine if the previous annual goals remain appropriate given the data
Consider each area discussed in the present level
Develop new or revised annual goals that reflect the present level language
