Response to Intervention and the ELA Common Core Learning Standards have prompted changes in the approach that schools must take in implementing effective literacy instruction. When conducting an assessment audit, teachers, schools, and districts inventory what tests every teacher is currently using. The audit also investigates the effectiveness of the data management system; evaluates the reliability, validity, and usefulness of each assessment, including alignment with CCSS; evaluates the fidelity of test administration and score interpretation; determines the type of professional development training needed to increase the reliability of the tests; eliminates redundant assessments and determines where new assessments are needed to fill voids. This webinar series will walk participants through the audit process, either as an individual, school team member, or district representative. The outcome is a lean and mean cohesive literacy assessment system that serves as the key component in an effective RTI framework.
