A Deeper Dive Into the Developmental Writing Scale: Establish Student Goals, Designing Instruction, and Celebrate Progress

December 15, 2021 @ 3:30 pm 4:30 pm CST

The Developmental Writing Scale (DWS) is a powerful tool for beginning writers with complex learning needs that has sensitivity to measure discrete changes in writing quality and quantity from scribbles to paragraphs. During this second webinar in the series, participants will dive deep, learning how to use the scale to assess early and emergent writing of students (from scribbles to paragraphs) through practice scoring with their students’ writing samples. They will also learn how to develop two types of goals that are in alignment with state curricular standards – 1) student-friendly individual goals displayed for each student, and 2) IEP goals that are formative (informing instruction) and summative (measuring progress). Participants will hear how DWS data can be used to increase success and celebrate student writing progress in classrooms, schools, and the greater community.
