How Effective teachers Assess Students Literacy development
1. Teachers determine students' independent, instructional and frustration reading levels.
2. Teachers informally monitor students' progress in reading and writing.
3. Teachers use diagnostic assessments to identify students' strengths and weaknesses and then provide instruction to address problem areas.
4. Teachers have students document their learning in portfolios.
5. Teachers prepare students for high-stakes tests without sacrificing their instructional programs.
