Question
Can Let's Go Learn's Assessments Be Used for Progress Monitoring?
 
Answer
Let's Go Learn's DORA, ADAM, & DOMA assessments are  thorough diagnostic assessments. Therefore, by design, they should not be given frequently. They are, however, meant to be given between 3-4 times per year in order to see growth across a wide range of skills. Typically customers will test three to four times a year: fall, winter, and spring. But, if students have been working intensely and a teacher wanted to re-test, he or she could do so after eight weeks.

Progress Monitoring, by definition, is meant to monitor discrete skill gains based on a student's specific learning gaps post instruction.  A diagnostic is broad, and often captures skills that student have, in fact, mastered.  Progress Monitioring would be done for isolated skills.  For example, the ADAM  diagnostic is composed of five larger strands that have numerous subskills. The data from that diagnositc reveals smaller subskill areas of weakness that should be targeted through direct instruction and Edge lessons.  The teacher would then give a formative assessment on the specific skill in order to measure growth (i.e., progress monitor). It is also possible to queue up one strand at a time. 

Finally, if a school is using LGL Edge, after the completion of each lesson, a score is recorded. This score provides real-time, day-to-day and minute-by-minute progress monitoring. Teachers will see the lesson name, for instance "Decimal Place Value," and then a percentage score that the student received while doing the lesson.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistenciesin this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
