Looking Ahead

An Action Plan for the CRCT

1. Make a table for the past three years.

2. Contrast same-grade with cohort comparisons.

3. Consider disaggregated scores for key subgroups (special education categories, ethnicity, gender, LEP).

4. Compute equal increases through 2014.

5. Communicate these goals to teachers at each grade level, and discuss steps that might help attain them.

An Action Plan for DIBELS1. Make a table for fall, including results at the three levels

of risk, for each grade and test.

2. Identify points where large numbers of children are at high and moderate risk.

3. Discuss the “big picture” with teachers in grade groups.

4. Make clear to everyone that a central goal is to move all children into the low risk category.

5. Meet with individual teachers to plan for intervention and progress monitoring.
