Learning Point Associates: Using Reading Assessment to Drive Improvement

Using Reading Assessment to Drive Improvement

Objective	To empower schools to look at assessment not merely as evaluation but also as diagnostic, summative and formative events that inform and drive teaching and learning. The impact of effective assessment systems is that teachers can make decisions based on data rather than hunches.

The workshop may be conducted in small- or large-group settings and in hands-on and/or lecture format, depending on client need. Group size could vary from 25 to 100 participants.
Who Attends	This program is geared toward Reading First school staff members, including principals, assistant principals, teachers, reading specialists and reading coaches.
Participants Learn to	Choose assessments that align to curriculum and instruction. Implement a variety of assessment types. Use the results of assessments to guide instruction.
