DIBELS 8th Edition 2-day Interpreting Data and Planning for Instruction ONLINE- PART 2

Suitable for teachers, special education teachers, and anyone focused on improving literacy for all students.

The Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) 8th Edition are a series of curriculum-based measures used to identify and detect reading risk in Kindergarten to Year 8. The measures can be used for universal screening and progress monitoring and can also be used to measure instructional effectiveness within schools. This two-day workshop follows on from the initial DIBELS 8th Edition Administration and Scoring Workshop.

Learning Objectives 

The DIBELS 8th Edition Interpreting Data and Planning for Instruction workshop will:

  • revisit the purpose of the DIBELS 8th assessments and the administration and scoring of each DIBELS subtest;
  • detect reading risk by mapping data from each of the DIBELS subtests to the benchmark goals and the Big Ideas in Beginning Reading;
  • provide opportunity for participants to examine data to identify patterns and trends at the grade, class and individual student levels; and
  • use DIBELS data to plan for instruction within a multi-tiered system of support.

This workshop will focus specifically on DIBELS 8th Edition. Users of the DIBELS 6th Edition and Acadience assessments may also find this workshop helpful. Participants are not required to have access to a data management system to participate in this workshop.

Interstate participants please be aware SPELD SA is unable to mark off participation for interstate educational accreditation (eg NESA & TQI)

Participants need to be familiar with the administration and scoring of each of the DIBELS 8th Edition subtests to attend this workshop.
