How to Interpret Evaluation Results

Hi there!

Today, we wanted to talk about a topic that is really important in literacy intervention.

How to Interpret Evaluation Results

Specifically, how to know if a student’s standardized, norm-referenced test scores fall within the average range.

When we look at interpreting evaluation results, there are a number of things we need to consider but the first thing we absolutely must consider is whether scores are falling into an expected area or not. This requires that we go back to our statistics class to understand the standard bell curve. (Don’t worry - we break it down for you in the video below!)

We also wanted to give you access to our bell curve explanation sheet which you can grab here: >>>Standard Score Explanation Chart<<< We use this sheet to help our families understand where their child’s scores are falling and what all of the standard scores, scaled scores, and percentiles that they are seeing on their student’s evaluation & testing reports actually mean. Watch the video below to learn more!
