Continuum of Assessment Approach Introduction to the Model
Step One – Core Team(Pre-resource referral) Developing the student profile
Consult parent, student, previous teachers • Collect student work samples, including classroom based assessments • Cum file review – look for resource, guidance, clinician involvement • Look for common patterns in report cards • Differentiate instruction/Universal design • Consult and/or collaborate with resource teacher as needed
Step two – In-School team(Referral to resource Teacher) Refining the student profile
Meeting to consider factors impacting learning • Review classroom work samples • Review Cum file and student support files • RT observation of the student • RT & CT develop a plan of action to address identified needs • RT may provide further assessment • RT & CT consider new strategies, which may include small groups or individualized instruction
Step Three – School Support Team(pre-clinician referral) Refining the diagnostic questions to develop the student profile
RT brings student profile developed in steps 1 & 2 to an in-school support team meeting • RT brings forward specific questions regarding student’s learning and behaviour • In-school support team reviews data collected • Relevant clinician is consulted • Decision made whether or not to proceed with a referral to Clinical Support Services • Referral is made if so decided
Step Four – School Support Team(Clinician referral) Specialized Assessment
Clinician completes assessment (or observation) and shares results and recommendations with the in-school support team and/or parents • Recommendations and strategies to address student’s needs are discussed within the in-school support team • Programming is revised to reflect new information • Plans are updated and programming is implemented as a result of new info eg.
