The power of teacher-administered assessment

—

As an educator, your role in administering assessments is critically important to understanding your ¹ú²úÂ鶹¾çunique needs. When you observe and document the behaviors of ¹ú²úÂ鶹¾ças they read, you can gather data granular enough to determine not only risk, but also where targeted support is required.

This hands-on approach allows for a more personalized and direct approach to instruction, ensuring each ¹ú²úÂ鶹¾çreceives the support they need, where they need it the most.

The advantages of teacher-administered assessment

—

Teacher-administered assessment provides a more genuine and valid experience than placing them in front of a computer screen.

Watch the following videos to hear an educator describe some of the critical advantages of teacher-administered assessment over computer-based, online assessment for early readers.

 

Measure critical skill development through direct observation

When assessing early literacy skills, it’s critical to hear ¹ú²úÂ鶹¾çproduce sounds and words. With the right tools in place, educators can spend the quality one-on-one time that young learners need so they are carefully, closely observed as they’re learning to read.

Listen to readers read

A teacher’s eyes and ears deliver the most reliable results for young ¹ú²úÂ鶹¾çand prevent beginning readers from simply clicking through assessments. Observation also helps educators choose the right of differentiated instruction for each student.

Gather authentic, meaningful data

It’s especially important for teachers supporting struggling readers to understand exactly where and how a ¹ú²úÂ鶹¾çis struggling. That information—the artifact of a shared experience with a student—comes from directly observing a ¹ú²úÂ鶹¾çreading. Our formative assessment tool gathers information that determines ¹ú²úÂ鶹¾çrisk and instructional needs related to literacy.
