Assessment, Instruction, and Intervention

Learn how to assess, instruct, and provide intervention, if needed, for each component of research-based literacy instruction, including: oral language development, word analysis, fluency, vocabulary development, listening and reading comprehension, and written language development. Participants learn to interpret the results of various classroom assessments, including formative, on-going, and summative measures. Students align assessments with instructional programs and discuss effective assessment-based intervention programs. Participants also consider the appropriate assessment of diverse students with unique learning needs. Course content shows how to use grade-level or school-wide assessment data to implement and revise instructional programs, and to plan, implement, and evaluate school-wide professional development.
