Administering the test takes an entire reading block away, time which could be used to teach and practice the skills being tested on. For students who are not exposed to, or used to, the vernacular used in the weekly assessments outside of school, teachers not only spend time teaching the skills but how to understand the wording of the questions.

-The reading gradual release document does not seem developmentally appropriate for how many students are reading below grade level. For example, unit 2 week 1 wonders students had to read the text by themselves. A handful of students were ready for this while it sent a large amount of students into frustration, a sense of failure, and a loss of interest in reading. It would be nice if we could gradually release students as they are ready - maybe this would look like testing in small guided reading groups to individualize instruction a little more for each learner.

-I like how it easily groups students (red/yellow/green by standard) - are there any special tools to sort these groups in an easy to read way?
-Some assessment items are hard to find/search for to add to our trackers unless you look through the people you follow and what they add
-It is time consuming to enter each individual question answer choice. It would be nice for students that got 100% all correct for us to have a button to just click and not have to enter individual answers when they got all items right]]> 2019-10-10 02:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaymcdonald/b4jtcvd1o5je/wish/395941299 https://padlet.com/mkaymcdonald/b4jtcvd1o5je/wish/395941611 -The formatting on the reading and math assessment were not set up for first grade. The test was VERY close together. It needs to be spaced out between each question/answer set even if it requires using more paper to copy each test.
-Some of the numbers and answer choices (A, B, C, D, etc) were not formatted neatly so you could not easily tell what went with each choice/question.
-Many of the images were difficult to recognize (ex: finding the tiny rectangle in the image on the math test - it was difficult to tell what some of the clip art images were)
-We should be able to use Wonders reading unit tests and unit tests for Investigations math as our summative assessment vs using this benchmark assessment and adding on yet another test
-Consistently testing first graders is not developmentally appropriate - we could be using this extra time to teach our students how to read. The test did not seem beneficial to help us develop our instruction going forward. We are aware of students strengths and areas of growth needed.
-Seemed thrown together quickly.
-The questions are not written very well for an assessment.
-This seems very repetitive with assessments we are already giving. For example: if a student couldn’t identify the word sit on the wonders test, spell it on the spelling test, or read it during guided reading, we know - we have seen the success/work needed for each student. We are progress monitoring and know our students!!
-Given to teachers very last minute. It would have been nice to have this to look over before vs receiving it the Friday afternoon before we administer it Monday morning.]]> 2019-10-10 02:47:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaymcdonald/b4jtcvd1o5je/wish/395941611 https://padlet.com/mkaymcdonald/b4jtcvd1o5je/wish/396092455 Extra day for assessments on the Reading pacing guide and an additional week for pre-assessments in Reading like shown on the Math pacing guide.

Schedule days for assessments such as STAR, Beacon, Daze/MAZE, and benchmarks. Testing is increasing to the point that students are stressed. Lower performing students "just click." It frequently takes students more than one day to complete the weekly Wonders test, also. I find that students know the skill/standard, but the wording on the weekly assessments is not plain enough for them to realize what is being asked. It would be more beneficial to teach Wonders in sequence because they get tested on skills they have not seen yet when it is done out of order. A writing/research/technology day would be great to add in sometimes.]]> 2019-12-20 13:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaymcdonald/b4jtcvd1o5je/wish/426225110 https://padlet.com/mkaymcdonald/b4jtcvd1o5je/wish/426304773 We like the combined day 4 & 5 with an assessment day each week! ]]> 2019-12-20 17:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaymcdonald/b4jtcvd1o5je/wish/426304773 https://padlet.com/mkaymcdonald/b4jtcvd1o5je/wish/426311924 We could do some sort of phonological awareness progression (like Heggerty, for example) before starting Unit 1. ]]> 2019-12-20 18:02:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaymcdonald/b4jtcvd1o5je/wish/426311924 https://padlet.com/mkaymcdonald/b4jtcvd1o5je/wish/426338483 -Carlisle
