DATE: Tuesday, September 12, 2023
PRESENTER: Gina Herrera, Colorado Department of Education District Wide Alternate Assessment Consultant
LOCATION: East Central BOCES West Training Room
DESCRIPTION:
This training is highly encouraged for those who are responsible for READ Act Assessment, especially for those who teach or work with students who are receiving instruction based on Extended Evidence Outcomes, this includes DACs, special education teachers, and general education teachers at all grade levels.
The READ Act requires assessment of literacy development for K-3 students but not all students have the skills to take the assessment that the district has chosen to utilize. In those situations, the Colorado Emergent Literacy Scales (CELS) is used. This assessment is typically used for students whose instruction is based on Extended Evidence Outcomes (EEOs). Once a student is on a READ Plan they will remain on a READ Plan until the student achieves grade-level competency. As part of the READ ACT Implementation Process, students need to be assessed throughout each school year. Students who are assessed using the CELS need to be assessed on the same assessment schedule as all students in the district.
LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED!
