THE BEGINNING OF COLLABORATION AND DATA STUDY: EARLY ONGOING COLLABORATION AND ASSISTANCE INITIATIVE (EOCA)

Our first endeavor in developing S.M.A.R.T. goals, collaborative team planning, and analysis of data with focus on fluency development

Gathered baseline data using the fluency component of the DIBELS

Provided opportunities for grade-level teachers to collaborate and develop reading fluency strategies

Conducted interventions at universal, selected, and targeted levels

Collected and analyzed summary data

Page 4: Response to Intervention (RtI): Port Washington-Saukville, Wis

BENEFITS FROM OUR EOCA EXPERIENCE

Researched empirically supported interventions

Identified students for selected and targeted instructional options based on data (now known as Tier 2 and 3 interventions)

Emphasized importance of systematic data collection and analysis

Page 5: Response to Intervention (RtI): Port Washington-Saukville, Wis

BENEFITS FROM OUR EOCA EXPERIENCE

Increased awareness and dialog among staff about reading fluency

Promoted collaboration among classroom teachers, reading specialist, and school psychologist

Provided specific data that could be used at child study meetings

ASSESSMENT WALL

Needed a method to share and organize data efficiently, in order to: Look at an entire grade level at once, while

easily discriminating between classes and individual students

Share and analyze data with entire teams Determine what we could do to service specific

students Monitor individual student growth
