This 2-day course will help teachers of students with significant intellectual disabilities make connections between assessment, curriculum and instruction. This course assumes knowledge of comprehensive literacy instruction and the alternate assessment (either ELAA or DLM). It’s not designed to teach about the assessment or instructional strategies.
We strongly recommend that teachers have completed the following prerequisites: 1) attended the literacy class for students on alternate assessment (or the Strat II coursework) and 2) are fluent in at least one of the alternate assessments. Participants will learn about the reports, tools and resources that accompany DLM and ELAA in order to help match instruction to student need; how to unpack and apply essential elements to establish present levels of performance; and ways to write ambitious IEP goals, align services to needs, monitor progress and meet requirements of both alternate assessments. The five routines of literacy will be reviewed, but not explored in depth.
