Diagnostic Case Report Criteria


DIAGNOSTIC CASE REPORT CRITERIA:

Dear ED643 Students,

I'm sure that your students are grateful for all that you've done for them. As you continue to work closely with them with the various reading sessions (especially during next semester), they will READ with a more positive disposition. Keep up the instrumental work, and don't forget that you must include the following in your diagnostic case report before it can be approved:

1. For the interview with the child, it is not enough to list the child’s responses. You must also analyze the responses to describe what the data reveal about the child’s perceptions of him/herself as a reader and writer.

2. Determine the independent, instructional, and frustration levels on graded word lists, oral reading of narrative and expository, silent reading of oral and expository, as well as listening comprehension.

3. Compare these levels and analyze the data to describe the child as a reader in the conclusion of the report. Ensure that you also summarize the child as a writer in the conclusion. List and describe the recommended strategies for both reading and writing.

4. Provide an analysis of the miscues that the students made on the graded word lists and the passages. Read the section in the QRI-4 on how to analyze the miscues.

Do your best to include the aforementioned, so that you can prepare a quality Diagnostic Case Report to share with the parents. Good luck!

Best regards,
Dr. Rivera

STOP KONY!



  Recently, my friend Tiffany Bourgeois has produced a video on youtube.com to highlight the unfortunate events surrounding Kony and the LRA.  Joseph Rao Kony is the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a militant group in Uganda that is known for child exploitation.  The LRA goes village to village kidnapping children, using the boys for their military and selling the girls for the sex trade.  This video was posted with the sole intent of showing the rest of the world that we will not simply look the other way as the crimes against humanity continue.
     As teachers I truly believe that it is our duty to keep our children up to date with current events.  Many of them go about daily, unappreciative of their freedom.  They walk around with a minimalistic attitude, wanting to just 'pass' through life.  They only desire to do just enough, not to strive for excellence.  With all the freedoms that our nation has given us, we must live our lives to its greatest potential.  We must remember all these individuals involved that cannot afford to think of pleasurable activities, because their lives have been stripped from them.
     Stop Kony!

  1. Wow so inhumane! I truly believe that implementing current events about on island or worldwide news in the classroom focuses on students' critical thinking on issues that need to be addressed and their opinions should be shared and respected.

  3. Johnavan,

    I agree that we must make our students be aware of current events, so that they can be reflective and strive to do what's right. In relation to this class, let us continue to strive to increase the literacy skills of our struggling readers, so that they can excel in their academic studies. I encourage you and your classmates to continue to make a difference. Good luck!

    Best regards,
    Dr. Rivera
