I think Troy makes a good point. Since none of this data collection is
really necessary, and doesn't really tell any teacher anything more
useful than what she/he already knows, you might as well just miss one
child at a time out of your classroom and at least be able to teach.
NOT that I am DEFENDING any of this disgusting practice, you
understand. I would tell them to just send me the results, and if I
have any questions, I'll ask.
In one generation, our population is going to be even stupider than it
already is. Mark my words.

It would save you a lot of time and you would be able to teach more
and not give the assessments yourself.You will get to know your
students as readers reguardless by listening to them read in any
format and conferring with them about what you notice. Just take notes
as you listen to them read. Fountus and Pinnell testing is taking up
way to much time in my district for classroom teachers along with all
the other assessments they are required to give. I know it feels like
you are not getting to know each student as a reader, but it can be
more efficient use of your time, if you bring your notes with you when
you meet to the individuals who give the assessments and compare what
you both notice. I can see bonuses for have the teacher be a part of
giving the assessments and not. You have to make it work which ever
way it is done.

I know that this listserv is primarily for reading comprehension but
I am desperately hoping to get some feedback on the following . . .
Does anyone use 'data teams' to administer ALL 'universal screen'
assessments to students? If so, do these data teams include the
classroom teacher? Our district is planning to use data teams to
administer all universal screens next year (3 times per year) but the
teacher will not be a part of that team . . . the plan is for the
teacher to meet with those that administered the test (reading
teacher, school psych, speech path, sp ed teacher) to get the results
. . . any thoughts or personal experiences with such would be
appreciated.
