Universal Screening Requirements Assessment windows Fall: August 28-October 10 Winter: January 12-February 6 Spring: April 27-May 22 Expectation is that all students are assessed in grades K-3 using a state- approved screening measure Students in programs, day facilities, and residential facilities should be screened and monitored appropriately Department will work off-line with districts not using an approved measure to plan for compliance
Results of Universal Screening & Progress Monitoring and Intervention Requirements Students who did not meet benchmark in Fall 2014 are considered to be at-risk At-risk students are required to have their progress monitored weekly; providing intervention is recommended Student who don’t meet benchmark in both Fall and Winter of are considered to be substantially deficient Substantially deficient students are required to be provided interventions and have their progress monitored weekly Students above benchmark for two consecutive windows are not required to have interventions or progress monitoring Iowa TIER will soon show indicators for students who are at-risk and substantially deficient
Data Reporting for Districts not using the FAST Assessment Universal screening data will be uploaded into Iowa TIER beginning in Jan/Feb of 2015 Includes Fall 2014 data Plan is that progress monitoring/intervention data will be collected in Spring 2015 SRI for school year Basic data collection; may be added into TIER in the future
