This document discusses a plan called GEAR (Getting Explicit About Reading) to improve literacy intervention programs across 9 elementary schools in the AMA ESD. The plan was informed by a survey identifying overreliance on DIBELS screening and lack of comprehension intervention. GEAR's vision is to provide training in diagnostic reading assessments and explicit comprehension instruction for Title 1 teachers and general educators. The strategic plan addresses obtaining district support, providing adequate time for implementation, and ensuring diagnostic assessments and strategy instruction become integrated into schools' intervention frameworks.

RtI/MTSS SPE 501-Spring 2021 Module 6 Adapted Assignment
Progress Monitoring Summary:
Step One:
Review all components of the IRIS Module on Progress Monitoring :IRIS
Step Two:
Write a three page typewritten double spaced summary of the Progress Monitoring process. Your summary does not need to include citations, just a clear summarization that shows your understanding of the process. Your summary should include the following points of the progress monitoring process.
A description of:
· The role of formative assessments
· The role of progress monitoring
· How progress monitoring measures are chosen
· The role of the graph of progress (hint: a goal line and a trend line (student’s progress) should be mentioned here)
· How data based instructional decisions are made
· How progress is communicated to pertinent staff and parents.
Step Three: RTI/MTSS Assignment - 501
The role of formative assessments is; this type of assessment occurs during instruction, that allows the teachers to decide if students are learning as the material distributed to the class. This intended process of assessing as learning is happening which permits teachers to adjust to the necessary instruction to meet the learning needs of their students.
Formative assessments provide vital information regarding a student's progress toward particular learning objectives, her comprehension of skills or material being taught and any misinformation she has.
This assessment permits teachers to make informed decisions about when to revise or reteach material or skills or to adjust instruction. Also it identifies students who are constantly struggling.
Progress monitoring is a kind of formative assessment that is utilized within the elementary, middle and highschool environment. Progress monitoring permits teachers to;
⦁ "Frequently and constantly evaluate student learning.
⦁ Monitor the effectiveness of their instruction
⦁ Make instructional changes to improve student's academic progress."
There are two kinds of progress monitoring; mastery measurement (MM) and general outcome measurement (GOM) which is often referred to as a curriculum based measurement (CBM).The (GOM) model is most commonly used for progress monitoring. Even Though, scores from reading measures evaluate a student's progress, the results aren't used to assign grades. When students' reading skills improve, so will their scores involving reading measures as well. Initially, the scores are low at the beginning of the year and scores progress over a period of time, which suggest they are learning.
There are many benefits to utilizing the (GOM). The role of progress monitoring also includes;
⦁ "Monitor student progress over time
⦁ Determine if the current instruction is assisting students to learn.
⦁ Determine if students are making adequate progress toward their learning goals
⦁ Identify students who aren't progressing adequate toward thei ...
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. GEAR - Setting/Environment 9 Elementary Schools Avg. Free & Reduced Lunch – 65% ~15 Title 1 Teachers Environmental Challenges: Lack of consistency in Title 1 Programs Not all Title 1 teachers have a literacy background Alpena Hillman Alcona Bingham Arts
3. GEAR – Relevant Data All elementary schools completed a survey entitled, “STARS Framework for Interventions” To detail schools’ current framework for interventions To identify strengths & weaknesses Results provide rationale for GEAR
4. GEAR – Relevant Data Survey Question 1: What data is used to determine who needs literacy intervention? DIBELS is the primary assessment used in all schools Two out of ten schools mentioned using MLPP as a diagnostic assessment in the early grades MEAP is only additional data used in upper grades
5. GEAR – Relevant Data Essential component of RTI – Use data for three purposes Screen Diagnose Progress Monitor Problem identified in survey results: Reliance on the DIBELS screening assessment to make diagnostic decisions.
6. GEAR - Guiding Beliefs #1 A diagnostic reading assessment is needed in order to determine an individual student’s intervention needs.
7. GEAR – Relevant Data Survey Question 2: Describe the format of intervention in your school(number of students in a group, push-in or pull-out, person responsible for facilitating intervention, etc.) The format is primarily the same across schools: Title 1 teacher provides interventions to groups of students ranging from 3-5 mostly outside the classroom. None of the schools reported the role of the general education teacher in the intervention process.
8. A Tiered Framework for RTI 1– 5% 1– 5% 1 TO 1 PROGRESS MONITORING SMALL GROUP, RAPID RESPONSE INTERVENTION 5 - 10% 5 - 10% 80 - 90% 80 - 90% UNIVERSAL SCREENING SCHOOL-WIDE CLASSROOM-LEVEL INTERVENTIONS
9. GEAR – Guiding Beliefs #2 Explicit Tier 1 literacy instruction provides a strong base in a framework for RTI
10. GEAR – Relevant Data Survey Question 3: Describe the typical interventions within your school. Every school implements research-based interventions with varying levels of fidelity in fluency, phonics, and phonemic awareness. Fluency is the most common area for intervention None of the schools reported interventions in the area of comprehension
11. GEAR – Guiding Beliefs #3 Comprehension is the ultimate goal of reading.
12. GEAR – Relevant Data Survey Question 4: How is student learning monitored and how often is it monitored? All schools reported using DIBELS as a progress monitoring tool once every 2-3 weeks. 3 out of 10 schools reported using a more specific tool for progress monitoring.
13. GEAR – Relevant Data Essential component of RTI – Student progress needs to be monitored to determine if the intervention is working. DIBELS is a good measure for progress monitoring, but may not be specific enough for certain students/interventions.
14. GEAR – Guiding Beliefs #4 Progress monitoring tools should be specific to the intervention in order to effectively guide instruction
15. GEAR – Urgent Need Schools seem to be lacking a systems approach to a vital area of intervention – comprehension. A strong RTI framework includes a systematic approach to intervention in all areas. A varied approach may cause students to “slip through the cracks.”
16. GEAR – Urgent Need http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIudAL5oDdo&feature=email
17. GEAR – Current Reality Two concerns about current culture Overreliance on DIBELS Targeted comprehension strategy instruction and intervention arenot being implemented
18. GEAR – Preferred Future Title 1 teachers as literacy leaders Accurately diagnose struggling readers with the Diagnostic Reading Assessment (DRA) Design explicit comprehension strategy lessons Coach classroom teachers through the same process School
19. GEAR – Preferred Future Common language in regards to diagnostic reading assessments and comprehension instruction. Consistency in instruction, intervention, and data. District
20. GEAR – Preferred Future Reduce the number of struggling readers in the AMA ESD Accurately identify a student’s literacy needs Effective comprehension instruction and intervention Balanced use of assessments
21. GEAR – Vision Statement To strengthen schools’ current Response to Intervention framework, the AMA ESD will provide training, resources, and support in diagnostic reading assessment and explicit comprehension instruction K-5.
22. GEAR – Strategic Plan 1. Will the AMA ESDhave adequate support from its constituent districts to provide training in the Diagnostic Reading Assessment (DRA) and Strategies that Work (an approach to comprehension instruction) in the 2010-2011 school year?
23. GEAR – Strategic Plan 2. Will there be enough time for Title 1 teachers to research, implement, and collaborate in a PLC format?
24. GEAR – Strategic Plan 3. Will general education teachers be willing to implement the DRA and comprehension strategy instruction?
25. GEAR – Strategic Plan 4. Will diagnostic assessment and strategy instruction become a part of schools” frameworks for intervention?
26. GEAR – Communication Plan Conditions needed to implement this initiative Monthly Title 1 meetings 3 consultants act as coaches for individual schools Administrative update led by consultants
