Universal+Screening

=Universal Screening= Universal Screening measures generally are given to all students up to three times per year. These screeners give an overview of which students are having success and which might require further analysis to see if there are gaps in learning. These include the typical assessments and benchmarks we have been using as part of general education. Some universal screening measures currently in place:
 * DRA2 Benchmarks
 * Kindergarten Report Card Benchmarks
 * MAP testing
 * Everyday Math Assessments
 * Progress on Essential Standards/Learnings

DRA2 components as part of a body of evidence:

 * DRA2 benchmarking/diagnostic—fall, midyear, spring
 * Comprehension section—inferring, predicting, vocabulary, retell/summary
 * See CBLA Scoring Worksheets—WAT #17 (required for some first graders), WAT #22 (required for some second graders), and WAT #29 (required for some third graders)



Ideas for further Universal Screening Measures
Should be easy, possibly in checklist format in the primary grades.

Math

 * Everyday Math-previous year's spring assessments
 * Criteria for identifying G/T earlier
