MODULE 3: ASSESSMENT:
What help does each student need?
THREE TIERED MODEL
MOVING FROM GLOBAL TO
SPECIFICAssess to find out specifically
where a child is having problems
The difference between a formative and a summative assessment has also been described
as the difference between a physical and an autopsy. Professional learning communities
Prefer physicals to autopsies.
Dufour, et al, 2004
Reason for Assessing Type of Assessment
Who needs additional assistance? How many?
Universal Screening
What specific skills need targeting?
Diagnostic Testing
Should we keep or change our intervention?
Progress Monitoring

TYPES OF ASSESSMENT Universal Screening Diagnostic testing Progress monitoring Outcomes
UNIVERSAL SCREENING At least 3 times a year Across multiple grades Established cut scores Scores determine which child needs
assistance Fluidity based on screening
WHAT IS YOUR UNIVERSAL
SCREENING?
Activity 1
DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENTS Assist with drill down Determines what assistance each child
needs. May be class wide or individual Many different types Looks for assessments that are
ValidReliableHigh level of fidelity
THIS WILL HAVE A CHART THAT SHELLY IS MAKING
PROBLEM-SOLVING METHOD/DRILL DOWN
What is the problem?
Why is ithappening?
What should be done about it?
Did it work?
WHAT TYPES OF DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENTS
DO YOU USE?
Activity 2
PROGRESS MONITORING More frequent Keep it simple Do it with fidelity Chart the progress
SMART GOALS S—specific, clearly stated, simple M—measurable based on quantifiable
data A—Attainable and realistic R—Related to student performance and
achievement T—Timebound
DATA??? Baseline: Data before interventions are put
in place
Aimline or goal: How much you want to achieve
Graph the data to determine whether or not progress is being made.
PROGRESS MONITORING Key features of effective formative
evaluation systems Student performance is measured frequently (e.g.,
once/week) and results in quantitative data Progress is monitored toward an observable,
measurable, and ambitious goal Progress is graphed and viewed regularly Data decision rules are used to evaluate the
effectiveness of interventions and determine when modifications to interventions are needed
WHAT DO YOU USE FOR PROGRESS
MONITORING?
