7. Assessment Data
7.1. DRA EDL KG RTI Scores: Student 1: 3; Student 2: 3; Student 3: 2; Strategies: 1.) Attend Fast Forward, a program that targets phonemic awareness, phonics, and fluency, 2-3 times a week; 2.) Guided Reading Strategy. 3.) Tutoring 2 times a week.
7.1.1. After viewing these scores and the strategies used, I could observe and note that if one of the five different types of assessments are implemented in the classroom, it could make a difference in teaching and learning. For example, if the teacher uses formative assessments, he/she can modify teaching and learning activities to help the student as the teacher will be aware of what the student needs after conducting something as simple as an Exit Ticket.
