Jackie - I agree with the other posters who said the more sets, the better.
We share a set between 2 teachers now, with easy access. That works well. My
lit specialist set is shared between 5th grade and middle school (2 classes
each) as well as for my use. That makes it difficult to expect middle school
teachers to use it.
As far as the data management disk, we tried it but it didn't give us all
the information we wanted or in the format we wanted. We developed our own
chart to use with it for classroom information. I might revisit their disk
now, though, that I'm comfortable with the assessment and what our needs are
from it.

Subject: [MOSAIC] fountas & Pinnell BAS
Hello,
Our school is considering purchasing the latest edition of the Fountas &
Pinnell Benchmark Assessment System. We are not sure if we need to order
one kit per classroom, or one kit per grade level (we have 3 classes per
grade level) We currently use Reading A-Z Running Records and correlate
them to F&P, but want to know how F&P kit works. If you use F&P:
Do we need one kit per grade level or one kit per teacher?
Is it easy to use?
Do you use the data management component?
Any information would be appreciated, as it is a huge expense and I want to
make sure it is worth it.
Thanks,
Jacki
American School of Madrid
