Our primary school uses it and likes it. It is a quick assessment. It is FREE. It did not meet the needs of this builsding because it did not assess comprehension in an open ended manner. For primary it is a good assessment.
Is anyone familiar with the assessment DIBELS? I'm a second grade teacher and my school is exploring new options for assessing students. Any information would be much appreciated.

My new school/district uses it in the primary grades. I got to skip the training, since I'm teaching 6-8 for them, so I've never seen it.

Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results. -- John Dewey
I actually just found a great site on DIBELS and thought I would share. The address is [url="http://dibels.wgen.net"]http://dibels.wgen.net[/url]. It's a teaching community based solely on the assessment and a great resource for information on DIBELS.
