As you are watching the webinar please take notes (same link as above) on how you currently use data from universal screeners, diagnostic assessments, and progress monitoring. Please be prepared to share your thoughts in the form linked below for attendance verification.
Universal Screeners: You can look at the evidence-base of different universal screening tools in an interactive chart from the National Center of Intensive Intervention: Academic Screening Tools Chart.
Diagnostic Assessments: If a student scores poorly on a screening, diagnostic assessments take a more careful look at the student's strengths and needs. Need some support in selecting diagnostic tools? Here is a resource.
Progress monitoring tools: The National Center on Intensive Intervention provides a tools chart that presents information about commercially available progress monitoring tools that have been reviewed by a panel of experts and rated on key features.
