Many Texas educators say their instruction is “data driven,” but often, this means they are administering assessments without knowing what to do with these data, or they are focused on using STAAR data to the exclusion of other types of data.
Dr. Thea Woodruff currently provides support and professional development to Texas state-level partners, districts, and schools through the Tier Interventions Using Evidence-Based Research (TIER) initiative at UT Austin’s Meadows Center for Preventing Educational Risk.
This session will provide participants with the opportunity to examine the data collection, management, and analysis processes necessary to supporting all learners in becoming effective readers who can not only pass STAAR but also thrive as they are required to use reading to learn. We will describe evidence-based assessments to use for screening, diagnosing, and progress monitoring students’ reading skills and knowledge. We will also spend time analyzing different types of data that can inform instruction, intervention, and professional development and support for teachers.
Each participant will receive two free eBooks, Essentials of Assessing, Preventing, and Overcoming Reading Difficulties and Words Their Way included in registration. These texts include diagnostic assessment that will be reviewed within the session.
Once you have registered for the session, you will receive a confirmation email.
