Ongoing progress monitoring is the key to determining
whether current intervention efforts are effective and where corrective action
is needed. Please remember that per RtI district guidelines, progress
monitoring of tiered students should occur every 4 weeks with STAR Reading and
STAR Early Literacy as it is done for Math.
In addition, there have been questions about the use of oral
accommodations on STAR. We understand that the BOY screener has already
been administered, but please adhere to the following going forward:
1. Students with IEP/504 plans which call for additional time can use the built in
extended time option for reading and math.
2. Students with IEP/504 plans which call for oral administration can use the
built in audio feature for math only.
3. Because this is a normed referenced test and we want to maintain the validity
of the results, the recommendation from Renaissance is to not read the test
items to students. However, if the universal screener is specifically
addressed in a student’s IEP/504 plan to be read aloud to the student, then the
plan should be followed as outlined.
Please share these procedures with the appropriate members
of your staff.
Thank you for all the work you do!
