Midyear assessments are in and if you're feeling overwhelmed, or just plain frustrated, this episode is here to help. I’m answering three real teacher questions about assessment results, struggling students, and managing all that data.
In this episode I share:
- What to do when students aren’t showing the progress you expected
- How to turn midyear data into small group plans that actually move the needle
- Why consistent, repeated practice (even if it’s boring) works
- Tips for talking to families without just giving the problem to them
- What to try if students still don’t know letters or sounds
- The system I use to organize assessment data (that won’t make your binder explode)
