Analysis Of Assessment Tools
Assessment of students is a key element in creating appropriate instruction for students. Teachers must be able to administer assessments as well as determine a child’s strengths and areas for growth based on the results.
For this assignment, create a 12-15 slide digital presentation for teachers at an early learning center comparing two formal phonemic awareness assessment tools such as DIBELS, Developmental Reading Assessment, teaching strategies GOLD, High Scope, or COR.
In the presentation:
Present the advantages and disadvantages of each assessment tool, backed by research.
Evaluate the quality of each assessment and the validity of the data it would produce.
Explain how each assessment could be differentiated for a child with an oral language delay.
Include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter notes.
Support your presentation with 3-5 scholarly resources.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
