Use, Context, and Consequences of Early Literacy Assessments in Chicago Public Schools

Abstract

dc:description

Findings revealed (a) heavy use of data from two particular assessments, the DIBELS and basal tests; (b) enhanced teacher use of data from assessments that are more widely administered and from assessments they personally administer, (c) contextual factors such as the presence of school-level reading specialists, professional development, and school infrastructure contribute positively to data use, and (d) the perception of positive consequences from data use results in the strongest impact on this practice.
