  1. Progress Monitoring How will I know if my students are progressing toward project goals and strengthening their literacy and communication skills? What will I do about it if they aren’t? How will I actively involve students in the recursive process of learning? How will I document this process?

  2. Learning targets I can develop and implement a plan for monitoring and/or assessing students’ progress in… • Student project goals • Reading • Writing • Discussion

  3. “Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. It's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.” --Barack Obama

  4. How does progress monitoring relate to student growth in reading? • Higher grades • Awareness of performance • Responsibility for learning • More teacher responsiveness to individual student needs • Prediction of future achievement The Iris Center, Vanderbilt University.

  5. Progress Monitoring … • can measure a student’s rate of improvement in relation to identified benchmarks • can compare a student’s current to desired performance over time • can indicate small changes in a student’s performance • can occur quickly and frequently • can include assessment of learning and assessment for learning

  6. Data Collection:

  7. Questions to Consider Before What data will your school use to identify students for the intervention classroom? During How will you monitor the progress of your students on a daily basis? After How will you know if they have progressed?

  8. ASSESSMENT PRACTICES • Diagnostic • Formative • Summative

  9. Diagnostics Examples • Stanford Achievement Test (SAT-10) • Ekwall-Shanker • Unit Pre- and Post-Tests

  10. What is formative assessment? how will it help my students? Formative assessment is assessment for learning that • happens while learning is underway, • diagnoses students’ needs, • informs instructional decisions, • provides students with meaningful, specific feedback they need to improve the quality of their work, • and helps students see and feel in control of their journey to success. (from Classroom Assessment for Student Learning by Rick Stiggins, Judith Arter, Jan Chappuis, and Steve Chappuis. ETS, 2006)

  12. Summative Assessment • Assesses student learning in relation to the content standards • Assesses a student’s cumulative progress throughout a unit or year-long course • Gauges the success of a program • Is useful to align curriculum or determine instructional improvement targets

  13. Formative /Summative Activity Closed Word Sort (small groups) Sort items into one of the following categories: Formative Assessment Summative Assessment

  14. The greatest dangerfor most of usis not that our aim istoo highand we miss it,but that it istoo lowand we reach it. --Michelangelo

  15. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT OF… • Student project goals • Reading • Writing • Discussion

  16. If you have accomplished all that you have planned for yourself, you have not planned enough. --Edward Everett Hale STUDENT Project Goals • Preliminary Plans • Outlines • Prototypes • Practice Presentation • Group Monitoring It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan. -- Eleanor Roosevelt

  17. Student Goal Setting process • Help students set their own targets/ goals for a project • Help students chunk out the work and set deadlines for the work to be accomplished • Help students self-monitor their progress toward their goals and self-reflect on their learning as they progress.

  18. Student goal setting • “I Can” Statements • Individual Self-Monitoring • Group Monitoring

  19. Reading • Teacher questioning • Journals • Learning logs • Exit slips • Student-Partner Talk • Quizzes • Role-Play

  20. Writing • Writing samples • Journal • Checklist of writing skills • Description of projects

  21. Discussion • Journal • Graphic organizer • Checklist • Student Practice Activity • Student-Partner Talk • Practice Presentation • Teacher Anecdotal Notes • Role-Playing

  22. TIPS for DATA Collection • Student Binders/Folders • Place student goals in the binder • Hold students responsible for charting • Keep samples of different types of data—don’t forget reading, writing and discussion. • Share with the student

  23. Remember to document … What you can see , hear, justify or count.

  24. REFLECTIVE JOURNAL I can develop and implement a plan for monitoring and/or assessing students’ progress in… Project Goals Reading Writing Discussion “As students become more involved in the assessment process, teachers find themselves working differently … Many teachers are spending less time marking at the end of learning and more time helping students during the learning.” (A. Davies quoted in A Repair Kit for Grading: 15 Fixes for Broken Grades by Ken O’Connor (2007). Portland: ETS.)
