Literacy Intervention: DIBELS Assessment 1.02.23

By Anonymous
Webinar with Emma Nahna


Outline 
Dibels is a tool for assessing and tracking literacy progress of students. It can be used to identify children at risk and used to target which specific areas of literacy learning they are challenged by. Intervention can be planned accordingly. 

Key Points - understanding the test
  • 3 tests: NWF (non word fluency), ORF (oral reading fluency), Maze (comprehension & vocabulary)
  • CLS = Correct letter sounds (e.g. lun - child reads "l-u-n"
  • WRC = Words read correctly 
  • WRF = Word reading fluency
  • Composite score on tracking sheet gives an overall rating/level 
  • It's ok to use a tracking card if needed
  • Give 3 seconds to read the word...if not, red for them or move on
  • Progress kits: provide different tests at the same level 
  • Grade 2 = Year 3 NZ, G 3 = Yr 4
  • Test are age specific...so a child in Year 3 does the Year 3 test, regardless of how advanced or not
  • Green = low risk, Yellow = some risk (tier 2 support), red = high risk
  • Maze: 3 minutes to read then stop
  • Other 2 tests: 1 minute then stop
  • Assess every 2 or 3 weeks (or as school deems suitable)

Supporting Diverse Learners (RTLB Feedback and Support) April 2022

By Anonymous
The Situation This year, our team has a group of diverse learners who we are working collaboratively to support.  We have access to Resource Teachers: Learning & Behaviour (RTLBs) assistance for this. Two RTLBs observed our lessons during term 1, and we also undertook student surveys with 16 students (half considered diverse, half not diverse). Their feedback is as follows. We are exploring how we might use a more UDL style of approach to support these, and indeed all of our students. Student Voice: Survey Results from whole cohort Student Voice: Survey Results for my  home group RTLB Observations Feedback From RTLBs and Team Discussion Some of the positives noted:  High level of teacher attention on appropriate rather than inappropriate behaviour  Students are scaffolded to complete tasks and reach success, at times with 'first, then'. Students have access and are encouraged to use a range of learning tools e.g. visual timetable, fidgets, wobble cushion Teachers...

Te Reo Term 2

By Anonymous
Over the last fortnight, I have looked at how I can increase Te Reo in my practise.  I have done this by: * Making more use of Te Reo for instructions e.g. "Kia tere!";  "Homai te...(pene etc)"; "E noho."  * Using Te Reo more for greetings with students' whaanau and students themselves * Ensuring there are more Te Reo books in our class library shelf * Observing and utilising Sherilee's (weekly Te Reo teacher) examples, and checking my pronunciation with her  * Including more waiata in class e.g. Matariki waiata, Ka Kite waiata * Allowing for more output  opportunities e.g. practising our greeting during roll call * Ensuring we say the karakia every day I found information on providing students with ooportunities for input  and output informed my practice: http://hereoora.tki.org.nz/Teachers-notes/Teaching-te-reo-Maori-effectively and great resources for Te Reo Week 2-10 July here:  http://www.tetaurawhiri.govt.nz/what-we-do/events-a...
