DEVELOPMENTAL CONTINUUMS:
CONNECTING INSTRUCTION, STANDARDS, ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING
“So how’s my child really doing?” This is the question parents often ask teachers. Traditional report cards and letter grades often don’t provide a clear picture of student learning. Bonnie Campbell Hill will present ideas about how developmental continuums can help parents, teachers and students document literacy growth. Developmental continuums provide the link between instruction, assessment, standards, and student portfolios. Bonnie will show examples of developmental reading and writing continuums and how they also connect to report cards. She will share supplementary materials that help support the continuums and discuss how continuums are being used around the world.
