T-PRO FLEXIBLE TESTING WINDOW: FALL 2008
By now you should have received an email explaining the delay in shipping of test booklets. We have created a “flexible” window that should adjust to each school’s unique needs. The data trainings are planned for October 20 – 23. Because of the flexible window, schools will be returning materials for scoring at different times, so they may not receive their electronic scores prior to the October training, however there will be reports there for you to use.

RTA STATE SELECTED ASSESSMENT
WHEN TO BEGIN INTERVENTION SERVICES
It is the intent of the RTA grant that intervention services begin no later than the second week of school. Schools should NOT wait until receiving fall test scores to begin intervention services. Spring 2008 GRADE scores are to be used to identify students eligible for the program.
KINDERGARTEN AND OTHER NEW STUDENTS
Until fall data is received, other appropriate assessments/measures must be used as the initial criteria to determine eligibility for intervention instruction for kindergarten students and primary students new to the school.
