Are there students who may need additional instructional support to achieve benchmark goals? How many students may need additional instructional support? Which students may need additional instructional support? What data to use? Histograms Box Plots Class Lists Histograms Summarizes the distribution of scores of all children in a grade within a school or district relative to the progressive benchmark goal for the time. Student performance is depicted in 3 categories according to students who have met benchmarks, making progress toward benchmarks, or are seriously below benchmarks Yearly Box Plot Summarize the distribution of performance in a class at a single point in time. The box depicts the range of scores for a school or district relative to the benchmark. Practice Activity Blue Partner: Review Histograms and Box Plot Samples for 1st grade. Be prepared to report out the following: What do you know from the data? What are the implications for curriculum and instruction, professional development and teacher support? Class List & Grade List Reports Provide information on individual students at a given assessment period. 3 types of reports Need for Support District Percentile National DIBELS Data System Percentile How do we get to them on the website? Class List: Need for Support Need for Support recommendations are provided for individual measures and the DIBELS Next Composite Score. Class List: District Percentile Calculated based on the scores of students in your district's DIBELS Data System account during the selected year. Class List: National DIBELS Data System Percentile Calculated based on student scores from the Sentinel Schools Project conducted by the Center on Teaching and Learning at the University of Oregon during 2010-2011 school year.

How much instruction support is needed? How will children be grouped for support? What specific skills should we teach? What instructional curriculum/program to use? What specific instructional strategies to use? Big Ideas & Instructional Goals Instructional goals should be guided by the five Big Ideas: Phonemic Awareness Alphabetic Principal (Phonics) Accuracy and Fluency with Connected Text (Fluency) Vocabulary Reading Comprehension Considerations in Planning Instruction Think about what DIBELS results indicate… Are my students on track? What do I need to target for my instruction? Look at student booklets/patterns of errors for additional direction. Example 1: Are students not reaching benchmark on NWF because they don’t know letter-sound correspondences or because they are not blending sounds together? Example 2: Are students not reaching benchmark on ORF because they are accurate but not fluent OR because they have low fluency? Try it out… (green partner) Kindergarten Classroom Spring 50% at benchmark on PSF and NWF Goal??? Try it out… (green partner) First-Grade Classroom 80% at benchmark on ORF, 40% on NWF Goal??? Try it out… (green partner) Second Grade Classroom Fall 90% benchmark on NWF, 40% benchmark on ORF Goal??? Try it out… (green partner) Third Grade Classroom 95% benchmark on ORF, 45% benchmark on DAZE Goal??? How much instructional support? What level of support is needed to change your student’s reading trajectory? Double dose of reading instruction? Before/after school tutoring? Preteach/reteach? Different materials? What factors can YOU alter to meet your students needs? RtI Framework Academic System 1-5% Intensive Individualized Interventions 5-10% Targeted Interventions 80-90% SchoolWide Instruction Behavioral System 1-5% Intensive Individualized Interventions 5-10% Targeted Interventions 80-90% SchoolWide Instruction How will students be groups for instruction? Students with same composite score or overall instructional recommendation DO NOT necessarily have the same instructional needs. Students who have scores within the same range on a measure DO NOT necessarily have the same instructional needs. Grouping Students Analyze student performance across all measures Group students with similar instructional needs Its important to consider how each DIBELS Measure relates to the BIG Ideas of reading instruction and to each other Considerations for Groupings You MUST look at the scoring protocol – a number is NOT enough information for grouping purposes Ask yourself Is the student accurate but slow? How accurate? Are there any error patterns? Is a problem fluency-based? Is the student making multiple errors and performing at a slow pace? Considerations for Groupings Are additional diagnostic assessments, placement tests, and/or work samples needed? What student factors do I need to consider? (behavioral needs, attendance, etc) What personnel resources do I have an what does my schedule/time allotment for instruction look like? Grouping Worksheets Sample 1st grade http://esu6-readingnews.wikispaces.com/ Practice Activity Choose one of your class list reports (or Class Progress Summary) and look for students that will have similar skills needs. See if you can think through some students that may be in the same groups. Planning Support DIBELS may be used to identify general area(s) in need of instruction (e.g., alphabetic principle) Additional data may be needed for making decisions about which particular skills within a big idea that you should target (e.g., short u and e) Diagnostics? For specific skill level use: Error analysis of DIBELS Knowledge of student performance in class Program assessments Supplementary assessments The primary questions are: What can the child do? What specific skills does the child need? What skills should we teach? Scenarios (Yellow Partner) 1. What if a student is low on First Sound Fluency and Phoneme Segmentation Fluency? • Target Phonemic awareness 2. What if a students is low on Nonsense Word Fluency? • • • If NWF accuracy is below 97%, target accuracy w/ beginning phonics If NWF accuracy is at/above 97%, but low recoding, target blending with phonemic awareness blending skills If NWF accuracy is at/above 97%, target building automaticity (fluency) What skills should we teach? Scenarios (Yellow Partner) 1. What if a student is low on oral reading fluency? • • • Target fluency with connected text if accuracy is greater than 95% Target alphabetic principle if accuracy is less than 95% Target comprehension and/or vocabulary if student is making meaning distortion errors 2. What if a student is low on ORF + DAZE • Teach fluency & comprehension Practice Activity Identify 2 students on your class list Determine what they need for instructional support Share out with shoulder partner Outcomes-Driven Model ODM Step Questions Data Identify Need Are there students who may need support?

Helps us determine 3 things: How effective is our core instruction? 2. How effective is our strategic instruction? 3. How effective is our intervention instruction? 1. How effective is our core instruction? Core Program is effective if it: Meets the needs of 80% of all students in the school. Supports 95-100% of benchmark students to make adequate progress and achieve the benchmark. How effective is our supplemental support? Supplemental Program is effective if it: Meets the need of 5-10% of students that need supplemental instruction. Supports 80-100% of strategic students to achieve the benchmark goal. How effective is our intervention support? Core Program is effective if it: Meets the needs of 5% of students in the school that need intensive instruction. Supports 80%-100% of intensive students to reduce the risk of reading difficulty to strategic or achieve the benchmark goal. What is adequate progress? Benchmark Students Effective core instruction should: Support 95% of benchmark students to maintain benchmark. Strategic Students Effective supplemental support should: Support 80% of strategic students to achieve benchmark Intensive Students Effective interventions should: Support 80% of intensive students to achieve strategic or benchmark benchmark Partner Activity Purple Partner Look at Summary of effectiveness sample report Determine the effectiveness of: Core Instruction Supplemental Instruction Intervention Instruction What else did you notice?
