students are progressing with each
skill.

DIBELSNext results?
 A student who is at Benchmark is at grade level.
 A student who is Below Level is in need of additional
strategic interventions.
 A student who is Well Below Level is in need of
intensive interventions.
 ***Teachers meet in Grade Level Collaboration
meetings monthly with the Principal and Title I Lead
Teacher to review each student’s aimlines and their
STAR group placement and programming.
