CIRCLE
Grades: Pre-K
The CIRCLE Progress Monitoring System is a tool that enables a teacher to quickly assess a child’s progress in a particular skill area. The data collected is reviewed by teachers and prompts them to focus on targetted lessons that address their students’ least developed skills.
The CIRCLE Progress Monitoring System:
TX-KEA Early Literacy
Grades: Kindergarten
TX-KEA is an early literacy assessment on the Commissioner’s List of Approved Reading Instruments that provides teachers with a comprehensive understanding of students’ learning. The data collected enables teachers to design differentiated instruction to better meet students’ individual needs. TX-KEA provides multiple implementation options to our school district such as:
TPRI Early Literacy
Grades: 1st
TPRI is a highly reliable early literacy assessment on the Commissioner’s List of Approved Reading Instruments that designed to identify the reading development of students. This tool is utilized as a one-on-one assessment, which helps teachers provide targeted instruction so that students improve as readers. The TPRI benchmark assessment is given 3 times per year, with the Middle of Year 1st grade assessment being a Dyslexia screener.
FastBridge Early Literacy
Grades: 2nd
FastBridge is an early literacy assessment on the Commissioner’s List of Approved Reading Instruments that screens our 2nd grade students on early reading indicators. It is a computer based assessment that allows our teachers to utilize the data to identify skill gaps and offer proven recommendations for reading instruction and diagnostic reading interventions.
MindPlay
Grades: 7th
Mindplay is a computer-based Dyslexia screener utilized to assess all seventh grade students at the beginning of the school year whose performance on the grade 6 STAAR reading assessment did not demonstrate reading proficiency.
MyPath Reading and Math
Grades: K-12
MyPath is utilized as a supplemental intervention for our students. They are guided through a diagnostic at the beginning, middle, and end of year that identifies areas of strengths and weaknesses in math and reading. This program then places our students on a learning pathway based on the results from their diagnostic screener. Our teachers are able to utilize MyPath to assign additional enrichment lessons and facilitate active interventions that can address learning gaps and also propel students forward.
STAAR Interim Assessments
Grades: 3-8 and EOC
State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) Interim Assessments are online, district adopted assessments that align to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). The data we receive from the assessments help educators monitor student progress and predict student performance on STAAR.
