or

Tuesday, February 19 at 2:30 p.m.

You are encouraged to join us if you haven’t had the opportunity to attend the previous sessions. ESes who attended the first two sessions gave very positive feedback on the information provided. Matthew Busser from Scantron Performance Series will provide two additional web workshops for Connecting Waters. He will show us how to analyze the data and graphs generated by Scantron testing and explain SIP, SEM, and NPR. Then Matthew will discuss how ESes can share reports with parents in practical terms and conclude with questions/answers. The session will last approximately one hour.

If you would like to attend, please email Jodi Leonardo jleonardo@connectingwaters.org with your session preference, and an invitation link will be emailed to you.

Scantron Update

Based on the recommendation of our Scantron Performance Series representative, Grade Level Equivalency was removed from our Scantron results page. It was misleading because the GLE is determined by using a student’s overall scaled score and positioning it on the national norm samples Grade Level Equivalent Scale. It does not necessarily mean the student should be placed at that grade level, or has the curricular framework to do work at that level. As an alternative, the WRAT4 can be used in grades K-12 to assess your student’s reading fluency and comprehension level.
