STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTIONS DIBELS The Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) are a set of procedures and measures for assessing the acquisition of early literacy skills from kindergarten through fifth grade. They are designed to be short (one minute) fluency measures used to regularly monitor the development of early literacy and early reading skills. They measure recognized and empirically validated skills related to reading outcomes. The purpose of DIBELS Benchmark goals is to provide educators with standards for gauging the progress of all students. The Benchmark goals represent minimum levels of performance for all students to reach in order to be considered on track for becoming a reader. DIBELS has been used in MCPS several years in grades K-3.
MAP Measures of Academic Progress® (MAP) are computerized tests based on a continuum of skills in math and reading. Essentially it is one long test rather than a series of shorter tests that assess students over specific criteria at various grade levels. MAP assessments are not tests that determine mastery. Rather, MAP assessments provide teachers with instructional levels for each student. They provide a road map for determining where each student is performing in relation to Montana and MCPS curriculum standards. In MAP a large, computerized question bank makes it possible for all students to receive questions specific to their learning level. For example, the first question is “chosen” based on the student’s previous test results. When students respond correctly they are given a more difficult question; if they are incorrect they are given an easier question. In this way the MAP assessment hones in on the area where the student is currently responding successfully and then outlines the next learning steps. Unlike tests that results in percentiles, MAP uses an equal interval scale called RIT (think “inch”). With the RIT scale it is possible to accurately measure each student’s learning over time.

SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT School environment data that follows is taken from student responses on the MyVoices Survey. This survey provides school-level data about the school environment through the eyes of students. Data is disaggregated and analyzed to demonstrate students’ sense of self-worth, active engagement in school, and educational purpose. The Quaglia Institute for Student Aspirations (QISA) believes that for students to have high aspirations, they must believe in themselves, be actively engaged in their learning, and see the connection between what they learn today and who they want to become tomorrow. QISA believes that for students to have high aspirations, three Guiding Principles must be present: Self-Worth, Active Engagement, and Purpose. These Guiding Principles direct the development of educational experiences, from the individual classroom to the entire school building. Students who have aspirations believe in themselves, are meaningfully engaged in their learning and the life of the school, and work with intention toward their goals.
Developing Students’ Self-Worth Belonging, Heroes, and Sense of Accomplishment Self-Worth begins when students experience a sense of Belonging: They feel like they are part of the school community while being recognized and appreciated for their uniqueness. Students also experience Self-Worth when someone in their lives believes in them. They need Heroes: people they can look up to, respect, and learn from. To develop Self-Worth, students also need a Sense of Accomplishment. They must be recognized as much for their effort, perseverance, and citizenship as they are for high grades and good test scores. As students build Self-Worth, they are more likely to persevere through difficult tasks and be inspired to take the steps needed to reach their goals.
Fostering Students’ Active Engagement in Learning Fun & Excitement, Curiosity & Creativity, and Spirit of Adventure Active Engagement means that students are emotionally, intellectually, and behaviorally engaged in their learning. Emotionally engaged students experience Fun & Excitement by becoming so involved that they almost lose track of time. At the end of the lesson, they wonder, “Where did that time go?” Intellectually engaged students are not afraid to ask “Why?” or “Why not?” about the world around them. Curiosity & Creativity are alive in the way they learn, fostering inquisitiveness and a desire to satisfy their minds with new discoveries. Behaviorally engaged students have a Spirit of Adventure. They are not afraid to try new things, or to take on healthy challenges, regardless of whether they might succeed or fail. With Active Engagement, learning becomes important in and of itself.
Encouraging a Sense of Purpose Leadership & Responsibility and Confidence to Take Action Schools must challenge students to think about their Purpose—who they want to become as well as what they want to be. To reach this goal, students need to explore what it means to have, and create, a successful and rewarding life. Purpose is about being responsible, accountable, and confident. To develop Purpose, students need the opportunity to assume Leadership & Responsibility in their lives. They must learn to make decisions and understand the consequences of their choices. When students have Purpose, they have the Confidence to Take Action toward a meaningful, productive, and rewarding future. They believe in themselves and are motivated to reach their dreams. Taken from The Aspirations Framework, Quaglia Institute for Student Aspirations, 2011.
