UFLI Foundations - Reading Proficiency and Phonics

# data[].attributes.body
Teacher's manual is $70. This is a phonics program for K-2. It includes a grades 3-5 program for catching up missing skills.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
For years, the most urgent and persistent request we heard from the teachers we work with was for a more effective and more easily implemented program for foundational skills instruction.

While most language arts standards include learning targets for foundational reading skills for kindergarten through second grade, they are not detailed enough to build a day-by-day sequence of instruction. While most schools have an abundance of resources in the form of book rooms, basal readers, and a variety of intervention program kits, there is typically insufficient guidance for how, when, and with whom to use these materials.

In response to this persistent need, our team developed UFLI Foundations, a program that includes the necessary professional learning, resources, and scaffolding for teachers to deliver high-quality instruction in foundational reading skills.

This is how UFLI Foundations was born.

Are you new to the Proctor role? This page guides you through the main steps:

Also reference the Testing Tips for common questions.

Print Resources:

Set Up Testing in MAP

On the MAP Growth site (teach.mapnwea.org), choose Manage Test Sessions, and follow Option 1, 2, or 3 to create a testing session. A testing session groups students so you can administer testing and has no effect on reporting.

Option 1-Find Students to Test

This option is useful for preparing an arbitrary group of students ahead of time.

1. Select Find Students to Test.

2. Choose criteria and select Search.

3. Review the search results and select Add Students.

4. Repeat the search as needed.

Keep the student count below 100; too many students can slow the sign-in.

If a student is missing, try using <No School Assigned> in the criteria.

If you need to add a student, contact a school leader for instructions.

5. Select students and make needed assignments (each student can have a different assignment):

1. Select Assign Test and select a test from the list.

2. Select Assign Accommodations if a student requires accommodations, including Text-to-Speech.

For more guidance, see Assignments for tests, accommodations, or Text-to-Speech.

6. If you plan to use this testing session at a later time, select Save Session.

Use a name that's unique and easy to type. Avoid spaces, special characters, and capital letters. Examples: jbmath72 (your initials +subject +grade +period) or 21eagle918 (room +mascot +month +year)

7. If you need to test immediately, select Test Now.

Option 2-Test My Class

Use this option if you're testing your own class of students.

1. Select Test My Class.

If the button doesn't work, your MAP profile was not associated with a class of students for this term. (This association must happen every testing term.) Contact a MAP leader in your school or district.

2. Select one of your classes, if prompted.

The Proctor console appears and the testing session starts.

3. Select students and make needed assignments (each student can have a different assignment):

1. Select Assign Test and select a test from the list.

2. Select Assign Accommodations if a student requires accommodations, including Text-to-Speech.

For more guidance, see Assignments for tests, accommodations, or Text-to-Speech.

Option 3-Use Saved Testing Session

Use this option if a session was already created and saved by you or someone in your school or district.

1. Select Show next to Saved Testing Sessions.

2. To see testing sessions created by others, change Created By.

Note: Access may be limited. With the School Proctor role, you can only access sessions created by someone with the District Proctor role.

3. When you find and select a testing session, choose Test Now.

If not available, you already have a session running (you can only run one at a time). Select Return to Testing.

Assignments for tests, accommodations, or Text-to-Speech

When making test assignments, refer to this diagram of test naming conventions. As shown, many tests have an accessible version that is compatible with screen readers.

When assigning accommodations, select all the assistance you plan to provide so it is permanently recorded with the test. You cannot change these assignments once the student starts testing, unless you suspend the test and ask the student to rejoin the testing session.

Text-to-Speech is one of the accommodation choices. It is intended for sighted students, such as English language learners, and it enables audio tools that appear within the test toolbar.

For details, see Accommodations and Accessibility and also Text-to-Speech Accommodation.

Student Sign-in

Before students arrive

1. On your Proctor console, you should now see the Test Students page. If not, select Test Now.

2. At the top, look for the Session Name and Password.

3. Write or display this name and password on a board for all students to copy during sign-in.

Note: The password regenerates every time you start a session and will expire overnight.

When students arrive

1. On student testing devices, students start the NWEA secure testing browser or app.

Or, if your school will be testing with a browser only, you can direct students to: test.mapnwea.org.

2. Ask students to learn about MAP Growth with the following choices on their log-in page:

Try the Practice Test (about 5 non-scored, sample questions).

Username and Password are grow.

Student Resources (explanatory videos about the test, tools, and test engagement).

Or, read the Student Directions Script.

See also: Student Sign-In Tips for common sign-in issues.

Pause, Suspend, or Terminate

To control a student's test, select the student and choose from the Select Action menu:

Pause*

Up to 25 minutes

Resume

-Student must resume from the same device
-Test will continue with the next question
-After 25 minutes, the test becomes suspended

-or-

Resume Test prompt (another day)

Continue testing with either the saved testing session or a newly created testing session, whichever is more convenient

14 days is the recommended limit because too many days of instruction between testing could influence the score

Terminate

Permanent

Caution: System discards any answers given for the terminated test; use only if the wrong test was assigned

*Other pauses: To pause on the student testing computer, select: Ctrl+ Shift+ P (or Ctrl+Shift+L) and enter the PIN from your console. For information about the automatic pause from rapid guessing, see Test Engagement and Rapid Guessing.

End of Testing

Before you can begin another testing session, you must end the first session. You can run only one testing session at a time. Although it's possible to leave your testing session running until more students arrive, you cannot keep it running overnight. Every night, all sessions are closed automatically, and any tests left open become suspended.

To end for all students:

1. On the Proctor console, choose End Testing Session.

If students are still testing, a prompt shows that those tests will become suspended. Select Yes to continue.

2. At the next prompt, choose either:

1. Save and Exit: Choose if the same group of students will be tested together later.

2. Delete Session: Choose if different groups will be formed for further testing. (Does not affect test results; students can resume incomplete tests in the same or another testing session.)

To end one test and continue another:

1. Select the student, and then select Test Again.

2. Select the student and then Assign Test(s) to assign a new test (and also Assign Accommodations if it differs for the new test).

3. Ask the student to sign in again (same session name and password).

hen The Essential 55 was published, Ron Clark became a tireless promoter, traveling the country to speak to large groups of teachers and fans. And when his Oprah appearance shot the book onto the New York Times bestseller list, he kept the heat on. We can expect the same tenacious commitment to promoting his follow-up book, The Excellent 11. The Excellent 11 contains eleven sections with each one focusing on a theme directly related to teaching and raising children. Ron Clark draws from his own experience to give advice, telling personal stories that demonstrate the significance of each theme within the learning environment-an environment that extends beyond the classroom and into the larger world. Using themes ranging from Adventure, Ingenuity, and Humor to Dedication, Creativity, and Love, Clark provides a road map for both parents and teachers who want to enrich their children's learning experiences.

In 2014 Michael Fullan set his sights on the daily needs of school leaders in his bestselling book The Principal. This updated edition shows how the principal's role continues to change―alongside our changing world―and how we can embrace the transformation in short order. As crucial in-school influencers of student learning, principals have an opportunity and an obligation to maximize student achievement. But how? In The Principal 2.0 , Fullan explains why the answer lies neither in micro-managing instruction nor in autonomous entrepreneurialism. He shows a new way forward that allows principals to expand their roles without overstepping and contribute to the development of the whole school.

Even in difficult times of crisis, there's room for principals to take action. In The Principal 2.0, Fullan explains how to loosen focus on accountability and instead concentrate on capacity-building; focus less on technology and more on pedagogy; abandon fragmented strategies; and forgo individualistic solutions in favor of collaborative effort.

Discover the three key roles that administrators must play in order to have the biggest impact

Foster the professional capital of teachers and get more accomplished for all students

Find "action items" to help implement this proven program effectively

Adopt strategies that have been successfully field-tested in schools across the United States and Canada

Discover why The Principal is a bestseller in educational leadership, and strike out into the future with this new edition, updated for the changing role of today's principals.
