Good Morning everyone, I am trying to work on my benchmarking for the beginning of the year. The school uses Fast Bridge for Math and English/Reading Comprehension however Fast Bridge does not have anything for Writing. What kind of process are you using to assess a SLD in Writing. My Mentor told me to make it up....there isn't a state standard for this?

I give a 3 minute writing probe each trimester and record the number of words written, the number of correctly spelled words, and the number of correct writing sequences. Scoring can be found at interventioncentral.com

We use prompts from intervention central 3 times a year (beginning, middle, end) I give my kids 1 minute to think and 3 minutes to write. It's tricky to score the first time but once you do the first round it's easy and a great way to score and assess writing.

Our school uses CBM writing to assess writing. We are a small charter that specializes in writing so we do a lot of it

This is amazing, When you use this do you use the writing probes provided, or do you ask your own questions? Do you time it as others have said?

I typically have students write, based in the district grade-level writing assessment and then score it using 6-Traits Writing. Those students who need assistive technology such as Co-Writer or the use of a scribe, etc. have that available to them as long as it’s in their IEP. However, I’m interested in exploring Interventioncentral and possibly CBM Writing. Is CBM Writing a separate part of FastBridge? We use FB for reading and math already, which has CBM Math and Reading attached to FB. I’m curious if CBM Writing is also attached in some way, based on its name?? Thanks! 😁😁

I’m wondering if I’m overreacting, or she’s purposefully trying to just get paid more

Additional Posts in Special Education Teachers

I’m a SPED Resource/Inclusion Teacher which I really love. I really like working with the Gen Ed teachers maybe because my background is Gen Ed. I’m noticing many SPED team members go straight to the principal if they have an issue with a Gen Ed teacher instead of going to the teacher directly. Is this the norm now? What happened to SPED working with Gen Ed? Maybe I’m old school, but this seems so wrong to me. Thoughts?
