Diebals Benchmark Assessment

The baseline data was established using the Fountas & Pinnell Benchmark Assessment System (BAS). This test assesses reading comprehension through the process of students reading a text at the appropriate instructional reading level and answering comprehension questions. This assessment tool measures students' ability for accuracy, self correction, fluency, comprehension, and writing. An overall level score is given through a letter identification, A-Z. For the baseline data purpose the letters A-Z were numbered off 1-26 to give the students' scores an adequate numerical score. The assessment determines whether students exceed expectations, meet expectations, approaches expectations, or does not meet expectation. A third-grade student at the

The Reading Comprehension section, Jason was incapable to answer most of the questions after reading short passages. He seemed very frustrated and didn’t want to continue answering questions. During the test, the student asked me to stop the test. We kept going until he couldn’t answer anymore. He finished the section in the 4th percentile and his standard score was 74.

These DIBELS screening assessments were developed to help educators identify struggling, at-risk readers, so that appropriate types and levels of support can be implemented within the school system. They were designed to support efforts at the primary grade levels (K-6th) to prevent reading struggles as the learn progress through the school system. Furthermore, this test was to aid in the elimination in remediation lessons inside of the classroom.

Jasmine Keller is a fourth grade student who has been monitored and reported as a student at-risk. Jasmine has a, “weak short-term memory that affects her involvement and progress in the general education curriculum in the areas of reading decoding, reading fluency, reading comprehension, spelling, and math calculations. Her reading level is at second grade. Broken down word recognition is at an equivalent of grade 1.7, and comprehension at 1.3. She has relative strength in vocabulary. If given classroom assessments with a screen reader she is very successful. Her writing skills assessed to be uneven with only weak spelling skills, which is at a first or

As you can see, Student 1 increased their score four out of the six times on their weekly comprehension skills check from their basal reading series. However, that student did not reach proficiency during the 6-week intervention period. This student did not reach the benchmark goal for the DIBELS Daze assessment, but did increase their score from January to May by six points.

The type of assessment tool that would be used to measure students’ fluency is DIEBELS Oral Reading Fluency (DORF). The target intervention for the four students is improving their reading fluency to a 2nd grade level. DORF is a standardized test that measures student performance of reading word from the grade level by being timed for 1 minute. Students are instructed to read a passage as best as they can while the teacher is monitoring how many WPM they can read accurately in 1 minute. DORF also asks students to describe what they just read to allow a more accurate *** of students level or reading and avoid students reading quickly because they know they are being timed. (**p.32-33). The selecting of DIEBELS DORF was selected based on the

Karyss is a 2nd grade, who has repeated second. She will be turning 8 in August. She has an individualized education plan in place to support her writing and reading comprehension. As of April 29th, she started coming to for support with number sense, multiple step word problems and fact fluency. Her math grades have been three all quarter long. Cognitively, she has an even profile: General Conceptual Ability = 95 Average, Verbal = 96 Average, Nonverbal Reasoning = 96 Average, Spatial = 98 Average. These scores show that she has the ability perform on a grade level task. On the Second grade CASE 21, which is a county benchmark assessment she scored two at 39%.

Some strengths of this achievement assessment include that not every subtest will be administered depending on the age of the student and the variety of areas that this assessment measures. This assessment measures oral expression and listening comprehension that could help a child qualify for special education services. The math subtests provide valuable data that can be used for objectives for the child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP). Also, the results from this achievement test can be used to determine if a child has a Specific Learning Disability and in which areas he or she would qualify in for services. A weakness of this test is that the administrator must know the scoring procedures for each subtest. With the Pseudoword decoding subtest, the child is timed and the administrator will record the student’s responses exactly using correct punctuation or phonetic symbols and this can lead to inaccuracies in scoring. The WIAT-III has multiple areas to be tested to give us an accurate reading of the child’s

After comparing all the populations across all grade spans, in both reading and mathematics, the populations that I have the most concern for is, the IEP-special education students. Although this population is found to be proficient in most of their testing, this is due to the Safe Harbor or Confidence Interval. In both reading and mathematics proficiency these students have been well below the target. Two examples are grades span 9-12 mathematics 2012 proficiency was 49.1% and grades 3-5 mathematics 2012 proficiency was 54.1%, the target for both is 78%.

No & Yes. Jane’s fear of her legal guardian does not give her the right to be granted asylum under the law. However, her fear of being used for propaganda purposes does.

With so many advancements in technology, I am not surprised that our privacy is compromised. However, I am extremely surprised by how few laws there are to protect us with regards to the internet. I enjoy watching documentaries on Netflix, and recently watched “I am Jane Doe.” It is a documentary about human trafficking and the legal battle of American mothers for their middle-school aged daughters, who were trafficked for commercial sex on Backpage.com, an advertising website (cite). It was terrifying to see that the courts would not hold Backpage.com responsible for any damages due to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (Hornaday, 2017). I know this does not relate to mobile health apps, but I feel all of this is very connected,
