K–W–L Chart Welcome! Let’s begin with a few questions… • What do I know about aimsweb? • What do I want to know about aimsweb? Please complete the first two columns of the K-W-L chart with the other members in your group.
AIMsweb training • #1: Overview for all teachers and faculties on aimsweb components. (this one!) • #2: Training for Benchmark Assessment Team. Each school will determine their own assessment team. • #3: aimsweb Progress Monitoring training for all classroom teachers.
Essential questions (EQ) 1. What is aimsweb? 2. How does aimsweb fit into the RTII model? 3. What measures are used in aimsweb to assess reading, writing, and math skills ?
Curriculum Based Measures (CBM) as General Indicators A general indicator is a standardizedassessment conducted routinely over time. Like getting a ‘check up’ at the doctor. What happens every time you go to the doctor? • Height • Weight • Blood pressure • Pulse • Temperature
CBMs Assess the Foundation! Example: Content mastered at secondary Algebraic equations Order of Operations Adding/ subtracting/ multiplication/division Content mastered at primary Basic Skills
Why is screening with CBM so critical? • When basic skills are weak, we cannot support the processing load of more complicated concepts • The likelihood of failure increases as frustration limits the student’s ability to progress
EQ: How does aimsweb fit into the RtII model? Screening Progress Monitoring Data Based Decision Making Multi-level Prevention System National Center on Response to Intervention http://www.rti4success.org/
Benchmark Screening Progress Monitoring Two components of aimsweb Benchmarking&Progress Monitoring When used together, provide a complete picture of student growth + Fall Universal Screening
The Complete Picture Benchmark Screening&Progress Monitoring When used together, provide a complete picture of student growth Fall Universal Screening
EQ: What measures are used in aimsweb to assess reading, writing, and math skills? All assessments are Nationally Normed
What is assessed at each grade level? TEL: Tests of Early Literacy TEN: Tests of Early Numeracy
What is assessed at each grade level? Reading Math
