1) to identify students who may be "at risk" or need more help
2) to monitor students' progress
3) collect information about students in order to target specific areas of need
4) to assess if instruction was successful

1. Universal screening
2. Progress monitoring
3. Diagnostic
4. Outcome
All of these are essential to monitor student progress and growth. There is no "one-size fits all" approach to assessment, so it is important to mix it up with these different types of assessment. ]]> 2017-02-01 16:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/olsonn/15smfitp6irz/wish/150886087 https://padlet.com/olsonn/15smfitp6irz/wish/151259871

1. Screening-which of my students are at risk?
2. Diagnostic-use this type of assessment to see where we need to focus interventions
3. Progress Monitoring-meant to be periodic and determines how much progress students are making
4. Outcome-the summative assessment that will tell you whether students have learned the material

Using this comprehensive assessment plan will allow educators to use data in a more productive way to improve instruction.
