At the beginning of this week I met the teacher that I will be collaborating with to complete the research project. We met to plan the assessment, determine the best time to assess and implement the 30 minute instructional groups. I discussed the structure of the assessments that I would be using with her class and the informed consent forms that would be going home. The first assessment is qualitative and is based on the developmental stages of writing discussed by DeFord (1991) which most teachers seems to be familiar due to their use on the BEAR spelling assessment; this assessment will provide observational information from the work sample as well as an opportunity to quantify the assessment using the attached scale that I created.. The second assessment is based on dictation exercises from the Orton Gillingham Manual (Gillingham & Stillman, 1997) and provides an opportunity to analyze generalization of phonics skills and writing conventions. The assessment sheets for individual students are attached.
