Pam presented a chart with all the testing each grade level does, when they do it, and the purpose of the testing. DIBELS was discussed in more depth. Every grade level does DIBELS testing and every grade level has an iPad to do the testing on. It has helped make the documentation of the testing faster to report. The Kane Foundation purchased the iPads and are coming to observe them in use. BEACON BENCHMARK is taking the place of Utips testing is for Science, Math, and Language Arts. It will be testing how far the student can go, not just if they learned grade level standards.
