Review assessment data to address student need |
In addition to state and standardized tests, teachers use a variety of other assessments to monitor student performance. For example, to evaluate the students’ success in Language Arts teachers may use running records and Development Reading Assessments (DRA) which allow for consistent monitoring of students in small groups and centers.
Teachers monitor students’ homework and may provide interventions based on what is coming home on homework assignments. Teachers may also administer "replicas" (practice exams) for the state tests at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year.
At Ulysses Byas Elementary, Roosevelt Union Free School District, teachers use a monthly calendar to document academic and behavioral progress and communicate with parents. It also allows students to see what areas they need to improve in.
