• Assessment Results & Recommendations: This section will be filled in AFTERyou complete the battery of tests/surveys. You will provide a narrative description of test behavior and an explanation of test results on ALL the tests/surveys you gave to your client. Be sure to summarize performance on every assessment in the packet. This section will expand as you type (minimum 250–300 words). Then, you will write a minimum of 2 recommendations for the teachers and family of the client. These recommendations should include specific instructional strategies.

 

Step 4: Complete the Teacher Referral Form.

• If you are the teacher of the client, you should mark and sign this form. If the client is the student of another teacher, that teacher (if possible) should complete this form and sign it. You can type the signature since this form is not scanned.
• Comments should be included. If the teacher does not add comments, please request that comments be added or add them yourself and sign your name beside those comments.

Step 5: Complete the Observation Checklist.

• If you have daily access to the client, you should try to observe the client during instruction time for several days (preferably a week). If you do not have daily access, you will need to plan a time to observe the client.
• You should check each of the observed behaviors and include insights for each of the observations marked. If you do not have any or just a few items marked, you will need to explain why.

 

Step 6: Complete the Reading Inventory or Math Inventory.

• Follow carefully the administration procedures provided in your chosen manual (see the Course Resources section of the course syllabus for more information).
• Complete and record the results on each page of the assessment. Refer to the List of Assessments on the first page of the Client Report Packet.

• After completing the assessment, scan and attach the required pages to the Client Report Packet.
• For the reading inventory, the required pages to attach are:
  1. Graded Word List (include all that are used with client)
  2. Graded Passages (include all that are used with client)
  3. Basic Reading Inventory (BRI) Performance Booklet
  4. Qualitative Analysis of BRI Insights
  5. Retelling Procedure (starts on p. 405—include the one that applies)
  6. Summary of Miscues on BRI (p. 415)

• For the math inventory, the required pages to attach are:

1. Teacher Referral Form
2. Interest Inventory, Form A or B
3. Dictated Writing Sample
4. Observation Checklist: Literacy
5. Scored Tests based on the grade level of the client – Choose one assessment for each category based on the grade level of the client.

Step 7: Return to Assessment Results & Recommendations.

• After completing the assessments, go back to the first page of the Client Report Packet. Fill in the last section on the Assessment Results and Recommendations.
• Include a narrative that is a description of each of the assessments and the results.
• Provide the recommendations for future instruction that are specific instructional strategies for at least 2 audiences, such as client’s teachers and family. Be sure to give at least 2specific recommendations for each audience with research to support them. If you are not familiar with different strategies, discuss these with current teaching professionals, use internet articles, search research-based strategies, etc. Each audience should be addressed (even if your client is homeschooled) because different roles are provided during different times to help your client. It is important that your recommendations are supported by your testing results and research-based strategies. For example:
• If your student is below grade level in fluency according to your assessment, you could recommend that their teacher use echo reading and repeated readings.
• If you observed your student having difficulty paying attention, you could recommend preferential seating.
• Rememberthat you are the expert completing the testing. Do not recommend for additional testing to be completed by someone else. You have already completed a battery of assessments.
