DIBELS NEXT Training for Elementary Teachers

What is DIBELS Next?
Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills or DIBELS NEXT is a universal screening assessment that we give in our district at the K-6 level. Although there is a team of staff (iCoaches, administrators, other staff) that do the benchmark testing three times a year, classroom teachers are responsible for progress monitoring during the in-between times.

July - August DIBELS Next Training
Training for the DIBELS program is required of all K-6 staff and is changing for the 2014-15 school year. A series of online video modules (along with practices and feedback on the modules) are provided for staff prior to the actual training date of **Monday, August 3, 2015 from 8:30 a.m.-12 noon** at the Seaman Education Center Board Room.

During the month of July, preview the videos, complete practice and submit Module objectives forms through Google Classroom. This is independent work that you will receive IDP points for in MyLearningPlan. Instructional Coach (and DIBELS Next trainer) Janeen Horton will be available to answer questions through email at jhorton@usd345.com.

ALL VIDEOS and OBJECTIVES FORMS should be completed by July 31st.
