Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The current study examines the reliability and validity of a district screener as well as the screener's ability to predict student performance. Students were administered a math screener created by teachers and district administrators at the end of their 6th grade year. These scores were then compared to scores on AIMSweb's Curriculum-Based Measurement math assessment (M-CBM) as well as the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL). The screener exhibited a high level of internal consistency and had moderate to strong correlations with the WASL scores, AIMSweb M-CBM, as well as the students' grades the following year. These results suggest a district-created tool, such as the one in this study, would be an adequate predictor of student performance on high stakes testing and useful in determining placement in leveled math programs"--Document.
