08/04/09 PRESS RELEASE: Making Sense of Math and Reading Response to Intervention (RTI) with GRADE and GMADE from Pearson

Group Reading Assessment and Diagnostic Evaluation (GRADE) - Pre K-Adult is a scientifically-researched, comprehensive reading assessment that determines developmentally what skills students have mastered and where they need instruction or intervention.

Group Mathematics Assessment and Diagnostic Evaluation (GMADE) - Grades K-12, using the standards set by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, provides clear, accurate information about students' skills in core areas of mathematics, and helps pinpoint specifically where students need instruction.

HOW CAN GRADE and GMADE BE USED FOR RTI?

(1) Diagnostic: reports analyze strengths and weaknesses, error analysis, and recommend intervention

(2) Progress monitoring: with parallel forms, students can be tested up to four times a year, growth can be measured from fall to spring or from year to year or grade to grade

(3) Placement and planning: results can be used to place students in appropriate instructional groups, enrichment programs, or develop IEP's

(4) Special and regular education: with on level and out of level norms teachers can monitor progress by testing children below, above, or at grade level
