Joan Royle, Reading First Coordinator
- There are a variety of components that contribute to the success of Sandy Creek’s Inclusive Reading First program. First and foremost, is the district’s commitment to collecting data and actively using the information to drive instruction.
- All teachers are responsible for collecting data from a variety of sources that include the Early Reading Intervention, Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, Houghton Mifflin Theme, Word Lists and Word Passages Assessments and DIBELS. All teachers in grades K-6 have a Palm Pilot device to use for DIBELS assessments and to access information during data meetings
- Teachers are active participants in team data meetings, which serve to assess student progress and plan for the future programming of large and small group as well as individual instruction.
- The team data meetings stress structured and focused time management as well as equal accountability for input. The data meetings also serve as forum to discuss and gage program fidelity.
