Learning Intentions • I have a be>er understanding of how to use the data from my reading assessments to guide my teaching.
• We have a plan to use a performance-‐based reading assessment.
• I am be>er able to use formaNve assessment, day by day, in my reading instrucNon.
• As a team, we can describe what counts in quality reading and how to teach toward this for all students.

• Select a statement from one of the following slides.
• Write down 1-‐2 sentences about why you chose this statement: – How does it resonate with you? – What does it look like in your pracNce? – What is the challenge inherent in the statement? – What is the significance of the statement?
![Page 4: MRLC dec 2014](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c62e81a28abd80c8b4575/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Reading Assessment • The end goal of teaching reading is to create readers who read with understanding and who choose to read; the end goal of a reading assessment is to determine the strengths and areas to strengthen of a student’s reading with understanding.
![Page 5: MRLC dec 2014](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c62e81a28abd80c8b4575/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Assessment should allow students to exhibit their strengths.
• Students should know the purpose of the assessment.
• Assessments should mirror the best of what we know about teaching reading.
• More Nme should be spent on formaNve assessment than on summaNve assessment.
![Page 6: MRLC dec 2014](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c62e81a28abd80c8b4575/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• The skills required for fluency and effecNve decoding are important as building blocks to understanding, not as independent aspects of reading.
• Background knowledge affects understanding tremendously.
• When assessing fluency, students should have had an opportunity to pracNce first.
![Page 7: MRLC dec 2014](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c62e81a28abd80c8b4575/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Find a partner and discuss your chosen statement with them. – 10 minutes
![Page 8: MRLC dec 2014](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c62e81a28abd80c8b4575/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Formative Assessment • InformaNon gained from an assessment should be used to influence instrucNon – or the assessment is not worth doing.
• Assessments should not be too Nme-‐consuming as we need to get on with the teaching.
• Feedback is the heart of assessment – – Feedback from the student to the teacher – Feedback from the teacher to the student.
![Page 9: MRLC dec 2014](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c62e81a28abd80c8b4575/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Putting into Practice • Reconsider the learning intenNons from Oct. – What worked?
– What did you find out about your students? – How did you use the informaNon? – What were the challenges?
– How did you conquer the challenges? • 20-‐30 minutes
• Quick share: ONE success, ONE challenge

Learning Intentions • I have a be>er understanding of how to use data from reading assessments to guide teaching.
• I am be>er able to use formaNve assessment, day by day, in reading instrucNon.
• I have a plan to try a new strategy or structure to enhance reading.

• How does the informaNon I am collecNng INFLUENCE my instrucNon?
– Not numbers – Not sorNng – Not reporNng out – INFORMATION – can do and needs to do
• So I need to know TARGETS
![Page 13: MRLC dec 2014](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c62e81a28abd80c8b4575/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• What does the research say? • What counts?
![Page 14: MRLC dec 2014](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c62e81a28abd80c8b4575/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“The most powerful single influence enhancing achievement is feedback”-‐Dylan Wiliam
• Quality feedback is needed, not just more feedback • Students with a Growth Mindset welcome feedback
and are more likely to use it to improve their performance
• Oral feedback is much more effecNve than wri>en • The most powerful feedback is provided from the
student to the teacher

Features of High-‐Engagement Learning Environments
• available supply of appropriately difficult texts • opNons that allow students more control over the texts to be read and the work to be accomplished
• the collaboraNve nature of much of the work • the opportunity to discuss what was read and wri>en
• the meaningfulness of the acNviNes

Universal Design for Learning MulNple means: -‐to tap into background knowledge, to acNvate prior knowledge, to increase engagement and moNvaNon
-‐to acquire the informaNon and knowledge to process new ideas and informaNon
-‐to express what they know.
Rose & Meyer, 2002
![Page 23: MRLC dec 2014](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c62e81a28abd80c8b4575/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Backwards Design • What important ideas and enduring understandings do you want the students to know?
• What thinking strategies will students need to demonstrate these understandings?
McTighe & Wiggins, 2001

![Page 26: MRLC dec 2014](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c62e81a28abd80c8b4575/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2. Every child reads accurately.
-‐intensity and volume count!
-‐98% accuracy
-‐less than 90% accuracy, doesn’t improve reading at all
![Page 27: MRLC dec 2014](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c62e81a28abd80c8b4575/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
3. Every child reads something he or she understands. -‐at least 2/3 of Nme spent reading and rereading NOT doing isolated skill pracNce or worksheets -‐build background knowledge before entering the text -‐read with quesNons in mind

Building Deeper Connections • Grade 2 with Kinder Mann, Burnaby
• Explain how connecNons help us deepen our understanding of a story.
• Make connecNons with the cover • Give kids a post-‐it note with their name • Read the story as kids silently place their post-‐it notes when
they make a connecNon. • Reread the ‘improved’ story now that it is richer with all our
connecNons. • Write about your connecNon with the story – one that
really helped you think more deeply about the story.

How can I help my students develop more depth in their responses? They are writing with no voice when I ask them to imagine themselves as a demi-god in the novel.

Students need: • to ‘be’ a character • support in ‘becoming’ that character
• to use specific detail and precise vocabulary to support their interpretation
• choice • practice • to develop models of ‘what works’ • a chance to revise their work
![Page 52: MRLC dec 2014](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559c62e81a28abd80c8b4575/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The Plan • Review scene from novel • Review criteria for powerful journey response
• Brainstorm who you could be in this scene
• 4 minute write, using ‘I’ • Writers’ mumble • Stand if you can share… • What can you change/add/revise? • Share your writing with a partner
