Let’s put assessment in perspective…NECAP: • Designed for school/district based trends (3 +
years)• If your child continually performs in Achievement
Levels 1 & 2, conversations with teachers should be happening
• Want to look at multi-year data in a subject area: 34, 40, 50 (shows significant growth over time)
Local/Classroom:• Communication between teachers and parents
should be happening if either party notices areas of concern.
Working Together as a Team
• Supporting child with homework• Building fluency– Math: Fact fluency (FastMath)– Reading: Reading and rereading each night
• Supporting comprehension –understanding ideas. – Discussions about ideas presented in the texts– Discussions about concepts - Why do we have
seasons? Why does the moon change size? Math concepts: fractions, area, percentages, etc.
