How can screening and diagnostic assessments help improve universal instruction and close the gaps in our literacy programs? How can the data we collect through these assessment tools inform our daily classroom practices? 

In this virtual, asynchronous workshop, we will:

  • Understand the what/how/why of reading assessment tools
  • Take a closer look at different types of screeners and what we can learn from them (word recognition, ORF, and MAZE assessments)
  • Consider how diagnostic tools pinpoint where we need to meet individual students
  • Explore how progress monitoring can lead to strong tier one instruction and small groups when needed
  • Understand how assessment tools can guide our text selection for work with students
