Language & Literacy Assessment Discussion REA 510

Being aware of terms associated with assessment is important for reading/literacy specialists. There is a need to understand how each term supports the assessment process and diagnostic testing, and provides adequate remediation and intervention to increase skills and support all students.

For this assignment, create a video using any video recording device.

Your principal has asked you to create a 3-5 minute resource video to present to new teachers during orientation. The video must be engaging and clearly inform new teachers about the following assessment terms and how they relate to reading instruction:

Reading or literacy assessment
Language assessment
Diagnostic test
Remediation
Intervention
Progress monitoring
For each term include the following information:

Clear definition of the term and how the term applies to reading and writing instruction .
At least one example of the term, such as an assessment tool or remediation activity, and how it would be utilized in the classroom .
How the term fits into the process of remediation and intervention to support learning in the classroom .
The reading/literacy specialist’s role relative to each term .
How students are presented and interact with the term as part of the learning process.
Show professionalism in your speech and appearance.

Use an online video platform such as Loom, YouTube, or Vimeo to upload your completed video. Ensure that others can access and view your linked video prior to submitting to the LMS

ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
