Summary
TLDRThis script discusses the role of universal screenings in a multi-tiered system of support for reading instruction. It outlines how assessments at different tiers identify students' needs and guide instruction. The script explains the importance of a comprehensive assessment system, including screening, diagnostic, progress monitoring, and outcome assessments, to ensure that 80% of students achieve proficiency through tier 1 instruction.
Takeaways
- 📊 Universal screenings are essential for assessing the effectiveness of tier 1 instruction for all students.
- 🔍 A comprehensive assessment system is necessary to understand how students respond to classroom reading instruction.
- 🎓 In a multi-tiered system, about 80% of students should be successfully taught with tier 1 instruction.

- 📚 Ohio's assessment system includes four types of assessments: screening, diagnostic, progress monitoring, and outcome assessments.
- 👥 Universal screening assessments are given to all students in grades K-3 to identify those needing further evaluation.
- 📝 Diagnostic assessments identify student strengths and weaknesses to support differentiated instruction.
- 📈 Progress monitoring assessments measure student learning more frequently and are tailored to student needs.
- 🏆 Outcome assessments evaluate the effectiveness of tier 1 instruction with the goal of meeting 80% of student needs.
- 🔑 The Problem-Solving Model in Ohio's Dyslexia Guidebook includes all four types of assessments for a structured approach to student support.
- 📖 Universal screening uses normed standardized measures to determine if a student is making sufficient progress.
- 📆 Universal screeners should be administered multiple times a year to measure student growth.
