I have beginning-of-year data. Now what?

After screening your students and collecting BOY data showing skill deficits, you’re probably wondering what’s the best instructional approach to close these gaps.

Effective assessment data facilitates a well-designed instructional plan for all readers, especially for those requiring intervention.  After administering a universal screener, a diagnostic assessment tool must be used to accurately pinpoint instructional needs and determine well-defined skill-based student groupings.

In this on-demand webinar, Laura Stewart, Chief Academic Officer and Anella Wetter, Chief Sales Officer showcase a different approach to assessment and intervention instruction that eliminates the ‘now what’. For almost 20 years, our Phonics Screener for Intervention™ (PSI), has been field-tested by thousands of teachers in schools across the country. PSI has been proven to accurately focus on student grouping, instructional placement, and identify specific lessons to effectively address individual student needs.

Key webinar takeaways include:

Understanding the instructional cycle that provides a framework for the Tiers of Instruction and the need for screening, diagnostic, and progress monitoring assessment tools
Applying a diagnostic tool that pinpoints the exact skill gaps and identifies the students’ instructional needs based on an evidence-aligned scope and sequence
Using this diagnostic tool to provide guidance for student groupings and progress monitoring  
Taking a PSI test drive to see how this easy-to-use revolutionary tool accurately identifies skill gaps and aligns to focused instruction for immediate implementation

Watch the on-demand webinar to learn more about using your data throughout the year to inform instruction and effectively reduce intervention needs.
