As we continue our work around High Leverage Practices, we shift to “assessment.” One critical job of the special education teacher is to fully understand the students' strengths and needs. Then the teacher has to be able to interpret and use all of the data to make instructional decisions. What data do we have?
-
Review Current Information
-
Interviews
-
Observations
-
IEP Goal Progress Monitoring
-
Classroom Assessments
-
Transition Assessments
-
Formative Assessments
-

-
Standardized Assessments
All of this information helps the special education teacher develop the student’s IEP, design and evaluate instruction, and monitor student progress. Consider using this resource to assist in collecting data RIOT SCIL Matrix.
“The special education teacher has a pivotal role in helping all members of the IEP team to understand assessment data.”
