Progress monitoring and ongoing assessment
Complete ongoing assessment/progress monitoring for your two focus children. This is referred to as Assessment Experience 3 in the handbook.
- Use the Pathways Process (complete page 2– use page 12 as guidance, but read the whole thing) OR a Routines Based Interview to gather relevant background information and family input about one focus child.
- Gather data and artifacts (including photos [de-identified], checklists, data collection forms, anecdotal notes, work samples, progress monitoring tools, family conference notes). Submit these with your final document.
- Complete and analyze at least two domains in TS Gold (or assessment used by site) for both focus children.
- Meet with one family to share results of the assessment.
- Include a reflection about what you learned about ongoing assessment and progress monitoring; what you might recommend as changes (with justifications) to the way ongoing assessment is completed at the site; AND what you would do the same OR differently the next time you communicate assessment results with a family, and why. {Note: DEC Recommended Practices might be helpful as guidance}
- Upload all these pieces under Assessment PBA in LiveText.
