What is the place of progress monitoring within an assessment system? Functions of assessment Examples Purpose How often? With whom? SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT EOG, EOC, Common Core Asst How did we do? (aka “autopsy”) 1 x/year All students FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT 1. Benchmark screening DIBELS m. CLASS 3 D CORE NKT- Math Are we meeting the needs of most students? Which are at-risk? Establish Baselines Up to 3 x/year (Fall, Winter, Spring) All students 3. Diagnostic assessment CORE Johns Woodcock GATES- GMRT GRAY- GORT What is getting in the way of some students making growth? As needed General and Special Ed students not responding to intervention based on progress monitoring DIBELS How are students responding to interventions?
