Mirrors & Windows Response to Intervention (RtI) Support

We recently received a question asking what Mirrors & Windows has to offer in the way of screening and progress monitoring to support RtI initiatives at middle and high schools.

The RtI Responsiveness to Intervention pyramid chart above shows the extensive support materials available in the Mirrors & Windows program for students at each Tier. (Ask your Account Manager to send you a more legible copy.) The instructor’s Assessment Guide offers Formative Surveys, Remediation Rubrics, Oral Reading Fluency Assessments, and online testing and progress monitoring through the ExamView Assessment Suite on the Teacher Resources CD.

Formative Surveys: Two Formative Surveys measure students’ performance on key Common Core State Standards. One survey may be administered at the beginning of the course to establish a student’s baseline and help you identify appropriate teaching materials for that student. The second survey may be used later in the course to determine the student’s progress.

Formative Survey Remediation Rubrics: Following the Answer Key in the Assessment Guide, Remediation Rubrics list program materials that support each Common Core State Standard covered in the Formative Surveys.

Oral Reading Fluency Assessments: Oral Reading Fluency Assessments are provided in the Assessment Guide, along with Reading Fluency Rubrics, Reading Fluency Error Charts, and Reading Fluency Progress Graphs to evaluate and monitor student progress and to provide additional support.

ExamView Assessment Suite: The EXAMView Assessment Suite allows teachers to set up online testing on their local area network (LAN). The teacher can deliver the Mirrors & Windows Formative Surveys, Lesson Tests, and Unit Exams through the Test Player and Test Manager included in the Suite. Once teachers administer the online tests, they can then prepare a variety of reports based on the results data, and many of the reports include graphs and charts.
