Assignment Task: Refine Assessment Strategies Through Reflection
Review the overview of: 5 Pillars of Early Literacy
Directions:
Candidates will refine assessment strategies through reflection on experience, evidence, and data. Using the outline below and your previous three Assessment Analysis Papers, create a plan for your targeted student and compose a reflection paper that identifies the Reading Rope strands and the Science of Reading five components.
In the reflective process, articulate the links between engaging in the process of administering the assessment to your student with exceptionalities or struggling in reading and the student's learning outcomes. After completing a draft in this Directions document, use the Template to write your Reflection.
