How do I change the grade level of my student's Universal Screener?
The Universal Screener assessment is used to identify readiness for on-grade level instruction. It is typically administered three times a year, though it may also be used on an ongoing basis as part of an MTSS model. The assessments are composed of Math and Reading/Language Arts and are developed for each grade level, K -HS.
To identify readiness, they include multiple grade levels to allow sufficient “reach” to identify student weaknesses.
· For grades 2 and above, approximately 50% of the test content is the target grade, 25% from one grade below, and 25% from two grades below.
· The kindergarten assessment has two different forms reflecting earlier and later kindergarten content, given the rapid development at that level.
The test contains 20 – 35 items and is bookmarked in case it is not completed in one sitting. Questions are not randomized to allow the teacher to read the assessment aloud as needed. As a formal assessment, proper test administration measures must be taken.
Background Information
- Developmental Assessment Level is available for use with Classworks Universal Screeners.
- The feature is designed to create a more comfortable testing experience for students who perform significantly below or above their chronological grade level in Mathematics and/or Reading due to developmental difficulties (e.g., special education or gifted).
- If developmental level is used, the student's Universal Screener experience will be based on the grade level you select rather than the student's chronological grade, as is typically the case.
