[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. It seems one DIBELS assessment was done at the beginning of the year, but nothing since then. Is that the plan? Will there be a winter assessment, similar to how the older kids do MAP 3x/year?

Trying to understand how the switch to DIBELS is being implemented to help the kids with phonics and reading, especially in KG.

TIA![/quote]

The Dibels assessment will be given three times a year. Dibels does an excellent job at breaking down the foundational skills of language. Honestly, there is nothing for you to understand. It is meant for the teacher to track and monitor progress of the student. [/quote]

Given the student is my child, I'd think I'd want to understand how it's helping (or not) my child learn to read, so I can understand the progress they're making and support and encourage them accordingly at home. Thanks.[/quote]

If they had to share the info with parents, there might be accountability which I think they don't like.[/quote]

The test is part of a child’s records so parents can end should request the results. Teachers should explain them to parents. [/quote]

Just ask for the parent letter after January testing.  It's really nicely laid out and explains how your child did on each subtest.  Our teachers printed them for conferences. [/quote]
