Your Literacy Assessment Toolbox: Effectively and Efficiently Informing Schoolwide Multi-Tiered Systems of Support
Join education and assessment expert Dr. Kelly Powell-Smith of Acadience Learning as she examines the critical issues educators face when making assessment decisions. Which assessments are necessary to support schoolwide Multi-Tiered Systems of Support
(MTSS) in the area of literacy, and when should they be used?
You’ll walk away from this informative session with newfound understanding of:
- The various purposes assessments serve and what kinds of reading assessments are needed in a MTSS
- How to connect reading assessments to critical questions educators need to answer in a MTSS
- How to design an effective and efficient reading assessment system that results in actionable data leading to improved student outcomes
Dr. Powell-Smith will share application of these ideas in pre-K–8 settings, and she will provide specific examples and recommend resources.
We hope you’ll join us!
