Assessments of Student Progress (Triangulation)

The students in the focus group were evaluated on their progress through three different types of assessments:

Students were responsible for completing learning logs and graphic organizers that showed cognitive progress using the reciprocal teaching method.  These graphic organizers were graded on a rubric and compared to the original base line.

Students were asked to evaluate their own progress in comprehension by completing a self-evaluation sheet.  Students also recorded their thoughts on each strategy to reflect on its value to them as a reader.

Teacher-created assessment (multiple choice questions - both narrative and expository) and observations of daily use (both in a cooperative an independent setting)
