Why this Workshop:
Ongoing progress monitoring is a powerful tool for educators, offering real-time insights into student learning and instructional effectiveness. By consistently assessing students’ reading and spelling skills, teachers can identify areas of strength and need, adjust their strategies accordingly, and ensure every learner is on the path to success. This workshop provides practical techniques to streamline the progress monitoring process, helping educators track growth, interpret data meaningfully, and plan next steps for instruction. Participants will leave equipped with actionable methods to make assessment-driven instruction both efficient and impactful.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Identify the foundational reading and spelling skills that are most important to monitor for instructional decision-making
- Understand which types of progress monitoring tools align best with specific skill areas (e.g., decoding, encoding, fluency, comprehension)
- Interpret student progress data through case-based scenarios to recognize signs of growth, stagnation, or regression
- Connect assessment results to instructional planning by selecting strategies that address student needs and support targeted learning
- Leave with a practical “toolbox” of strategies to make assessment-informed instruction more efficient and impactful across grade levels and programs
