Screener For Teachers

We know that today’s teachers are required to teach more, to more students. The Screener of Handwriting Proficiency is ideal for busy educators – assessing a whole class takes only 10-15 minutes. Our Online Scoring and Reporting Tool makes scoring easy and instantly provides you easy-to-read summaries and charts of individual and whole class progress.

The Screener is universal and works with any method of instruction. The Screener is ideal if your school has adopted an RtI framework. As a Tier 1 assessment tool, it helps you determine appropriate instructional plans for a whole class, and helps you work with your school’s education specialists to develop intervention strategies for students who require additional testing and remediation.

Student Reports

You can administer the Screener up to three times per year to chart individual or whole class progress throughout the school year. Student and class reports will identify specific skill areas in which your students need help to improve and will let you chart progress after implementation of targeted intervention.

Because you can administer the Screener up to three times a year, you have the ability to tailor your instruction to achieve the best results. Student performance can change at different times of the year for a variety of reasons, and students might move between needing the same instruction as the majority of the class, to working in small groups, or needing additional testing and one-on-one remediation with a specialist.

Class Reports

The Screener will also provide whole class reports and charts that summarize your class’s performance throughout the year. These summary reports can help you focus your instruction in handwriting, such as determining which students would benefit from small group instruction at different times of the year, or which groups of students might require additional practice time on specific skills.

Class reports can also be shared with administrators to demonstrate progress after implementation of targeted intervention, or support the need to focus or alter your instructional program.

Parental Involvement

Parental involvement can play a significant role in the success of your instruction program, especially for students identified as struggling with handwriting. You will be able to email or print individual student reports for parents, to share during parent-teacher conferences or at reporting time.

Share the remediation activities in the student reports with parents and encourage them to practice with their child at home. A home program with targeted, specific instruction will work better than sending home generic practice sheets that don’t enable parents to help their child effectively.
