Indicator 1
Demonstrate ability to administer and integrate assessment, instruction, intervention and differentiation across the components in reading in a comprehensive instructional program.
This image is the class performance on the PM3 STAR test. I had to gather recent student test scores for an assignment in the Reading Internship course. We had to apply analysis to class data, where we had to figure out which students were performing on benchnmark and which ones required intervention. STAR already does this through its own programming however, I looked at their scaled scores and formulated my own scale given where students fell within her class. I then sorted the students into tier 2 and tier 3 instruction from the students needing urgent intervention and on-watch. Then I explained which standards and skills I would reinforce/reteach to which groups. I decided whole group I would reinforce text comprehension (informational and fictional), poetry structure, and using context clues. As these were ELA standards that the majority of the class had not performed on benchmark. For Tier 2 instruction, I would reinforce foundational reading skills (such as phonics, word recognition, and reading comprehension strategies). I grouped these students based on anecdotal classroom evidence and the STAR data. For tier 3 instruction, I would reinforce and reteach the above mentioned skills in addition to phonological awareness and fluency. I grouped them based on requiring similar supports as well as classroom evidence and the STAR test.
