Developmental Reading Assessments and a higher frequency (weekly) program such as DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills). The assessments will inform student grouping, lexile levels, intervention and enrichment needs, and pre- teaching and re-teaching needs. Furthermore, teachers will be able to generate and administer (at least every 6 weeks) standards- based benchmark assessments aligned to their grade-level content standards. They will either have access to standards-based test item banks, or computer-based adaptive assessments (e.g. I Can Learn) that provide ongoing data about students’ real-time mastery of grade level standards. 3) AFTERSCHOOL: YPI’s tutoring program and homework club targets student needs in English Language Arts.
