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
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
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

GRADE LEVEL LITERACY ASSESSMENTS
Need for assessments at all grade levels became evident to classroom teachers Desired tools to track student progress both in a given
grade and across school years Used data to inform instruction Aided in collaboration among staff
Implemented district-wide assessments at each grade level Kindergarten Literacy Assessment DIBELS Dictation Sight Word/Phrase Lists (Dolch, Fry, Fountas & Pinnell) Rigby PM Ultra Benchmark Kit
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
