She receives instruction in reading, math, science and social studies in a fourth grade classroom daily.

...When assessing my student at Crestmont Elementary on Novemeber 19th, 2014 I was paired with a fourth grader named Latia. When Latia entered the cafeteria to sit with me to begin our assessment she seemed very enthusiastic. Latia did not seem overwhelmed and very prepared to begin the assessment. At this point I began the three assessments with Latia. The passages were the first assessment given to the student. I gave Latia a copy of Snakes Alive while I held one to follow as she read aloud. The passage consisted of five paragraphs with a word count of 226. Throughout the entire passage Latia made a total of seven no errors and one error according to the running record coding sheet. Latia began reading Snakes Alive and beginning with the...

...Paul Herzog ESL-223N 10-26-2014 Professor Deborah Macias ELL Placement Assessments Essay A student’s education is a critical time in their lives to learn and comprehend as much as possible. It is an even more critical time for ELL student’s to learn and comprehend the complexity and variety of vocabulary and phrases that may come with a new language. Schools and educators need to make sure that the right tests and assessments are in place to help determine where ELL students may or will need the most help in learning and comprehending a new language. By having the right placement tests for ELL students to take schools and educators will ensure that the ELL students get most benefit and success from their education. Two ELL instructors that were interviewed stated that the STAR test is used to assess students’ skills and abilities and the test is computerized. STAR testing aligns with the state standards and tests students to see if they are below, at, or above the states standard. Those students below the standard are referred to receive extra instruction to help them reach the state standards. Fountas and Pinnell is another assessment that is used by the instructors to assess students abilities and determine what areas they extra instruction in advance their learning and comprehension.

...Running head: Standardized test, assessments, and portfolios for reading Standardized test, assessments, and portfolios for reading Students are constantly being “assessed” by their teachers. We examine their behavior patterns, learning styles, reading abilities, and even their happiness. The purpose of assessments is to educate the teacher on what our students know and how we can better serve them in learning the curriculum and more. State tests are administered yearly for students, and teachers give formative and summative assessments frequently in the classroom. There are benefits and downfalls to each type of assessment. Afflerbach (2005) discusses that the results from standardized reading assessments are “at best an approximation of the students’ actual achievement level” (p.158). Standardized test tell us if our student is above, at, or below proficient. They do not tell us what areas the student does well at or what skills they are lacking in. According to the work of Buly and Valencia (2002), “Students scoring below proficient on state assessments are usually placed in supplemental or remedial reading classes, which often focus on phonemic awareness and decoding skills at any grade level (Buly & Valencia, 2002). After being put in these “special help” reading classes, the student then goes back into content area classes (English, Math, Science) which all have difficult text where the student struggles with comprehension. The problem we are then...

...EVENT(S)/BEHAVIOR(S): In the Marshalltown Community District, there are a couple different types of assessments that are used to assess language learners. A student that is new to the country will take the TELPA assessment, which is required by the state. This test needs to be taken within thirty days from the beginning of the year, fourteen days after the start of the year. Another assessment that is given annually is called ELPA21, which is a new assessment for the Marshalltown District. It has replaced the annual assessment, I-ELDA. The new assessment, ELPA21, connects with the Iowa Core and the ELP standards. For the ELPA 21 assessment, a student will be marked “proficient” when all domain levels are greater or equal to 4. A student will be marked “progressing” when the domain level combinations fall in between the criteria for “proficient” and “emerging.” A student will be marked “emerging” when all domain levels are less than or equal to 2....

...ECE 354 Assessment and Intervention During Early Childhood Click Link Below To Buy: http://hwcampus.com/shop/ece-354-assessment-and-intervention-during-early-childhood/ As you have learned throughout this course, assessments are used for many purposes. As professionals working with children, we must look at assessment as a driving force behind planning instruction and developing goals for those children in our care. We must begin to understand the relationship between how children are assessed and how assessment data is used. This is a multi-step process of gathering data, determining goals for instruction, and then implementing those goals into our work with children. For this Final Project, you are asked to do the first two steps of this process. You will develop a partial portfolio for the child you observed and, with that information, you will develop instructional goals for that child. This assignment has three parts: The first part of this assignment requires you to develop a mission statement. Using your completed Assessment Purpose KWL Chart from the Week Five Reflection Journal, create your mission statement outlining: The purpose of assessment Your plan for including assessment when working with children How you can use assessment to document children’s work How you will use children’s interests and ideas when assessing. This statement should also include your position on working with children with developmental delays. This mission statement...

...Anecdotal Records The simplest form of direct observation is a brief narrative account of a specific incident called an anecdotal record. Often an anecdotal record is used to develop an understanding of a child’s behavior. Anecdotal records do not require charts or special settings. They can be recorded in any setting and require no special training. All you need is paper and a writing tool to record what happened in a factual, objective manner. The observation is open-ended, continuing until everything is witnessed. It is like a short story in that it has a beginning, middle, and end. The process of recording the incident requires a careful eye and quick pencil to capture all of the details. You will need to note who was involved, what happened, when it happened, and where it occurred. It needs to be done promptly and accurately. Figure 3-5 shows the contents of an anecdotal record. When you use the narrative form of observation, your eyes and ears act like a video camera. You will be recording pictures of children playing, learning, and interacting. During your observations, you will record how children communicate, both verbally and nonverbally. You will record how they look and what they do. Physical gestures and movements should be noted. You will also detail children’s interactions with people and materials. Record as many details as possible. Anecdotal Records Must Be Objective During the observation process...
