Hill Center Regional Education Model Year One Woodcock-Johnson III Evaluation Results Brunswick County Schools 2009-2010 Presented by: Tamara Walser, Ph.D., Lead Evaluator & Emily Grace, M.Ed., Project Coordinator The University of North Carolina Wilmington
Students Included in Evaluation 324 Total Students Middle School Students Elementary Students
Evaluation Method • Students were pretested in Fall 2009 and posttested in Spring 2010 • Individual assessments using four subtests of Woodcock Johnson III Achievement Test (WJ-III) • Raw scores were converted to age-referenced standard scores to measure growth
Description of Subtests Letter-Word Identification: List of individual words for student to read aloud Passage Comprehension: Short sentences containing a blank for student to read and supply appropriate word Reading Fluency: Short sentences for student to read quickly and identify as true or false Word Attack: List of “nonsense” words for student to read aloud, measuring phonics skills
What are Standard Scores? Age-referenced standard scores account for expected academic growth. A student who makes expected growth would have the same standard score at the pretest and posttest. An increase in a standard score indicates greater than expected growth; a decrease indicates the opposite. The AVERAGE standard score for the WJ-III is 100 where 90-110 is the average range.
Elementary Students (N=257) Average Score Range
Middle School Students (N=67) Average Score Range
