DIBELS Time!!!!

The new version of DIBELS seems to be a more accurate measure of students abilities. The biggest change for first grade seems to be the change of how nonsense words were measured. I think this is a positive change. Yes the scores will go down however I think it gives us a better idea of children skills. After our class on the DIBELS it cleared up many of my doubts about interpreting the data gained from this assessment. I really liked the common eras you can check off at the bottom of the skill tested. This will save me time and gives a more accurate picture of the child's abilities. The class was excellent and the DIBELS information was valuable. I truly think this will enhance my performance as a teacher!!
