Student Raw Scores
SANDI Levels * Now that we have assessed our students skills in the 4 Domains using SANDI, it is time to LEVEL them.
Click on Standards Reports
Reading for Information * To determine levels for students, you need to run reports for each standard/level. * For example, there are 3 separate reports for Reading for Information: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3. * Begin by running the report for Reading for Information 1 (Level 1)
Reading for Information 1 Level 1
When you run the report, this is what you ll see.
Level 1 Students will have Scores Less than 80% on the Level 1 Report
How many students in this class are Level 1 Students?
How Many Students in this class are Level 1 Students? 0
Run the Reading for Information Level 2 Report
Level 2 Students If students have scores from 0-49% (Below Basic) at Level 2. They become Level 1 students. Level 2 Students will have scores between 50-79 % (Basic) on the Level 2 Reports. For students who have 80% or more (Proficient), look at Level 3 reports. Do the 2 nd Part of the SANDI Assessment groupings worksheet for 7 to 10 minutes
Level your Students for the 4 SANDI Domains
Task 3: Classifying the students further into 3 groups on each level LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 Below Basic Prof. Below Basic Prof. Below Basic Prof. 0 49% 50 79 % 80 100% 0 49% 50 79 % 80 100% 0 49% 50 79 % 80 100%
Reasoning Behind the Analysis Activities BASELINE and END- OF- YEAR level of our students for Spring 2015 will be part of our year- end evaluation as an effective or highly effective teacher. Progress could be from Below Basic to Basic or Basic to Proficient on the same Level for any of the 4 Domains. OR a complete STEP UP to the next LEVEL. What s next?? We need to look into the specific IEP Goals, know what expected skills are on the NEXT level of SANDI, implement the right instructional strategies in our daily lessons to help them GET to the NEXT LEVEL.
What s In It For You? * The aim is to be involved in identifying the levels of your students in the 4 Domains, meaningful planning of lessons, and teaching to the IEP Goals your student/s are working on * Use it as part of your Lesson Plan and your classroom environment * Use it to show your student-centered Highly Effective TEACHING PRACTICES
