A1. I utilize universal screeners (3x per year), diagnostics, formative, and progress monitoring (2x per month) #squiggleparkedu

edtechSAE - Moderator Sep 8 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A 1 #SquiggleparkEDU We use Fountis & Pinnel for B,M,E reading. We do a more informal writing assess https://t.co/aT5qalnvWz

katiegillivan Sep 8 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1 Fountas and Pinnel benchmarks, observation survey of early lit, conferences with students, observations, writing samples #SquiggleParkEDU

katiegillivan Sep 8 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2 Finding enough time to go through the data, organize it, and create goals for students and future teaching #squiggleparkedu

edtechSAE - Moderator Sep 8 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A 1 cont #SquiggleparkEDU informal running records 4 math we give end asssess at beginning I like the data i receive @TenMarks helps

squiggleparkedu Sep 8 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Some of the challenges we have heard of are framed up well in this graphic #squiggleparkedu #data #backtoschool https://t.co/d8MTSkXrVl

squiggleparkedu Sep 8 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@katiegillivan is there a reason in your opinion the F&P assessments are so widely used? #squiggleparkedu #assessment

squiggleparkedu Sep 8 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Why doe @TenMarks stand out as great for you? #squiggleparkedu #backtoschool #K12 https://t.co/8nYFArmhCN

katiegillivan Sep 8 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@squiggleparkedu I find the books used are widely available and the assessments themselves are easy to follow and score #SquiggleParkEDU

squiggleparkedu Sep 8 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@TeachPreziosi it seems to me just collecting and organizing of this information could consume a great part of your week? #squiggleparkedu

TeachPreziosi Sep 8 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A1 @squiggleparkedu I use a system of organization for assess. data, but also utilize daily anecdotal based on observation #squiggleparkedu

edtechSAE - Moderator Sep 8 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Q 2 up next #SquiggleparkEDU https://t.co/tUK3Td0KbP

katiegillivan Sep 8 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@squiggleparkedu But I do not like the amount of paperwork involved in collecting data I wish it was more streamlined #squiggleparkedu

katiegillivan Sep 8 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@TeachPreziosi @squiggleparkedu Daily observation is essential when assessing where a student is #SquiggleParkEDU

TeachPreziosi Sep 8 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2 @squiggleparkedu Absolutely! It is so important for teachers to have the tools in place to make this process efficient. #squiggleparkedu

squiggleparkedu Sep 8 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@katiegillivan I also hear that it would be great if different systems spoke to eachother so all the data was in one place #squiggleparkedu

katiegillivan Sep 8 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@squiggleparkedu Yes I agree this would be helpful and time saving for teachers #SquiggleParkEdu

squiggleparkedu Sep 8 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@edtechSAE seems to me that would be a winner in terms of data collection for Ts #squiggleparkedu

Nancy3Kahn Sep 8 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Hi it's Nancy I teach first grade. We use F &P running records.They are definitely more challenging than others #squiggleparkedu

squiggleparkedu Sep 8 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Thought you might think this was cute :) #squiggleparkedu #datalove https://t.co/YXWOfToblH

edtechSAE - Moderator Sep 8 @ 8:29 PM EDT

Up next question 3... #SquiggleparkEDU https://t.co/L8oVnkUfRQ

squiggleparkedu Sep 8 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Hi Nancy. I'm so glad you could join us! @Nancy3Kahn Has the start of the school year been great?! #squiggleparkedu #backtoschool #k12

katiegillivan Sep 8 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Not sure if these programs think about the reality of a teacher's day and making it efficient and easy for them to use #squiggleparkedu

katiegillivan Sep 8 @ 8:32 PM EDT

Many assessments require one on one time with the teacher and take time which is just not realistic for many #squiggleparkedu

squiggleparkedu Sep 8 @ 8:33 PM EDT

Sometimes simple is so effective with Ss. They need to see it is a tangible way to feel the impact #squiggleparkedu https://t.co/xhqqiIsqns

squiggleparkedu Sep 8 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@katiegillivan how much time are teachers spending each day outside class time organizing, managing and reflecting on data? #squiggleparkedu

katiegillivan Sep 8 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A3 When I have 1 on 1 time with students to observe, question, conference and set goals together it is the most valuable #squiggleparkedu

TeachPreziosi Sep 8 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A3 Any data that reflects my students' learning of our goals. Assessment is an integral part of the learning process. #SquiggleParkEDU

edtechSAE - Moderator Sep 8 @ 8:36 PM EDT

Question 4 here...#SquiggleparkEDU https://t.co/W2JFDdIatb

squiggleparkedu Sep 8 @ 8:37 PM EDT

How about using simple tools and to collect data, such as clickers or exit tickets. Straightforward and effective processes #squiggleparkedu

squiggleparkedu Sep 8 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@TeachPreziosi are your students involved in reviewing assessments with you? What do they respond to most? #squiggleparkedu

TeachPreziosi Sep 8 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@katiegillivan I 100% agree! 1 on 1 time with students is invaluable and provides teachers with such critical insight. #SquiggleParkEDU

edtechSAE - Moderator Sep 8 @ 8:39 PM EDT

One easy fun way to collect data during a lesson is @plickers #SquiggleparkEDU https://t.co/qxn1K1iWGD

squiggleparkedu Sep 8 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@edtechSAE @plickers So cool #squiggleparkedu

squiggleparkedu Sep 8 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@Nancy3Kahn how do you keep all of the data organized to be effective to use later on? #squiggleparkedu

katiegillivan Sep 8 @ 8:42 PM EDT

I agree @Nancy3Kahn it is difficult with the little ones! #SquiggleParkEDU

TeachPreziosi Sep 8 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@squiggleparkedu yes, very much! We set achievable goals that reflects incremental progress. This promotes motivation! #squiggleparkedu

squiggleparkedu Sep 8 @ 8:48 PM EDT

katiegillivan Sep 8 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@edtechSAE @FreshGrade The portfolio is a great idea! I have used portfolios but I love the idea of a LIVE portfolio. #SquiggleParkEDU

TeachPreziosi Sep 8 @ 8:51 PM EDT

CAFE program is an effective way to teach strategies, assess, and set goals for reading with students - any Ts use this? #SquiggleParkEDU

TeachPreziosi Sep 8 @ 8:58 PM EDT

A6 Ss love to be involved in identifying their learning goals. They track their own data and draw conclusions. #squiggleparkedu
