Progress Monitoring at Florence School District 1 Florence, SC

For this week’s assignment, you will be writing an evaluation of your school’s/district’s reading instruction and assessment techniques. Based on the session’s readings, you should evaluate the school/district on each of the following components:

  • Are the three main purposes of literacy assessment made clear to teachers in your school/district?
  • Are the 5 main assessment types and roles used in classrooms effectively? Or, is one type of assessment used far more than others?
  • Is Progress Monitoring used (even if it’s not called this, per se)?
  • If Progress Monitoring is used, do most teachers adhere to it’s principles?
  • Are literacy assessments used to monitor progress and inform instruction? If so, how?
