Assessment Update Part Two

FOR ALL TEACHING STAFF
Fall 2020
Given the school closure at the end of the 19-20 school year, our assessment plan for next year will look a bit different. Once we know more information about what fall will look like, we will develop our district wide assessment calendar. Based on the instructional format and needs of the student, our typical assessments may be adjusted to meet the needs of all students. They will also be mindful of how staff uses any and all assessment along with classroom information to design instruction to best meet the needs of students.

Progress Monitoring
One area of assessment that will be impacted is progress monitoring for students in intervention or special education. As planned, math interventionists continue with their use of FASTBridge. The implementation plan has been revised to have literacy interventionists trained and implementing FASTBridge for the 20-21 school year. Given the impact of the school closure with IEPs and re-evaluation, the special education team will be trained in FASTBridge at a later date with implementation planned for fall 21-22.

Assessment Web-page

This summer an assessment web-page will be developed. This page, as part of the Curriculum and Instruction section of the West Bend School District’s website, will have information for staff and parents. Stay tuned for more details!
