Now that all Florida districts are using computer adaptive tests of reading (Star Early Literacy and Star Reading) for all Pre-K through 2nd grade students, it’s more important than ever for educators to understand the research supported uses of these kinds of assessments. Join us and renowned reading researcher Dr. Nathan Clemens as he reviews the research-supported uses and considerations that educators need to be aware of when interpreting computer adaptive test results.

While you’re waiting, check out this excellent resource from the good folks at IES: “Star Assessments – “What does the research say about the usability of Renaissance Star assessments and their use in guiding the instructional practices of teachers?”- https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/rel/Products/Ask-A-REL/60017 . You’ll notice several of Dr. Clemens’ studies appear on this page!
