Description
Chalk is a single platform that integrates your curriculum, instruction, assessment, and linking back to relevant standards. You can use data-driven insights and create an integrated system to help teachers understand what is working and what isn't. This will allow them to make adjustments to ensure student success and close any gaps. As students move from one grade to the next and from educator to teacher, their academic journey is a continuous process. Chalk allows you to seamlessly map the curriculum from grades K-12, eliminate any gaps in instruction, and facilitate a smooth transition between grade levels. All components of the academic system are aligned with the standards within each grade level and between grades. Teachers work together to provide consistent instruction.
Description
STAR Phonics is an online tool developed by Renaissance that assists educators in swiftly and accurately assessing the foundational reading abilities of their students. This assessment evaluates proficiency in 12 essential phonics categories and identifies 102 specific phonics skills, providing educators with comprehensive insights into both the phonics patterns students have mastered and the areas that need further attention. The screening process is quick, usually taking just 2-5 minutes per student, and results are generated instantly without the need for manual data entry. It offers diagnostic reports at various levels, including individual students, classes, and grade-wide assessments; these reports reveal patterns of mistakes and gaps in skills, enabling teachers to customize their instructional approaches for individuals, small groups, entire classes, or even whole grades. Recently, STAR Phonics has introduced new features, such as audio pronunciations for every assessment word to enhance accuracy in scoring, as well as improved capabilities for exporting screener data categorized by phonics and by individual words. With these advancements, educators can gain a deeper understanding of their students’ phonics skills, ensuring that instruction is as effective and targeted as possible.
