Holistic Grading Grid

I like to use this Holistic Grading Grid to assess my students' writing. I like it because it requires me to identify both strengths and challenges that my students are experiencing with writing. Also, I like to keep these in my students' folder so that I can assess over time, how my students are improving.

RTI Assessment

I'm still loving this easyCBM site. Here's a helpful review of RTI and how it works to identify and intervene to help at-risk learners. I'm currently using their free site to monitor my group of RSP students. I'll continue reporting on if I'm finding this useful for my needs.

Easy CBMs

I am so happy to have found this link: http://www.easycbm.com/teachers/login.php


This website is the best! It lets you create your own CBMs and it also comes with a list of ready made literacy CBMs for K-8. Once you run your assessment, you can then enter the results in their website and it will track and graph results over time. What a lifesaver! And CBMs have been proven to increase student performance and inform instruction for teachers. I will be visiting here every week.


Oh! And it's FREE!!!!

Another great publication from the University of Oregon.
