  1. Evaluation of STAR Reading Program Kimberly R. Scott North East Leadership Academy Cohort 1 Spring 2012, NCSU

  2. Problem of Practice Based on data obtained from the beginning of the year STAR Assessment, 49.5% of third graders are reading below grade level. According to 2010-2011 North Carolina School Report Card, 52.3% of the students were proficient in Reading on the End of Grade Test. As a result: • Developed STAR Reading program to focus on grade-level specific chapter books. • Students were grouped in small groups of 8-10 students based on their current reading levels. • Students received small group instruction for 30 minutes daily. • Within small groups, students read chapter books, developed vocabulary skills, increased fluency rates and improved comprehension skills.

  3. Evaluation Questions/Data Sources

  4. Results

  5. Recommendations • Based on input from the teacher surveys, implementation of Accelerated Reader Program to be used to assess student’s comprehension skills. • Develop guidelines for implementation of the Accelerated Reader program to ensure that it is being used with fidelity. • As a result of conferences with Reading Specialist and data obtained from assessments throughout this process, incorporate STAR across grade levels.

  6. Reflections • Throughout this process, I have learned how important it is to conduct evaluations on programs being used in schools. • Evaluations give a school administer specific information about the effectiveness of programs being used. • By conducting surveys as a means of evaluation, stakeholders are given an opportunity to express their feelings about a specific program.
