Effectiveness of Core Instruction
This index shows the percentage of students who begin the year reading “on grade level,”
continue to meet grade level expectations at the mid-year assessment, and make grade level expectations at the end of year
assessment. This index reflects the ability of the core instructional program and its implementation to produce a year of
growth in reading skills for a year of reading instruction. Only students who are attending a class at all assessment periods
are used in making this calculation.
|
In Florida, most schools use the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS®) to monitor the progress of students in kindergarten through third grade. DIBELS® will be used
in this example. Additionally, the ECI formula may be used with other measures that provide information on the instructional
level of a student.
|
To calculate ECI, you will need the following information and supplies: |
- Recommended Instructional Level for each of your students for the beginning of the year
and either the mid-year or end of the year (If you are using the Progress Monitoring and Reporting Network (PMRN), you will
find this information on the Class Recommended Level of Instruction Report. This information can be cut and pasted from the PMRN into a spreadsheet
or typed into a spreadsheet).
- Color code the Recommended Instructional Levels
- Initial = Green
- Strategic = Yellow
- Intensive = Red
- A calculator to calculate the percentages (optional)
