EYE newsletter - January 2021 – earlyyearsevaluation

Welcome back!

We hope you had a restful holiday and are excited about the new year ahead. We want to help you start the year with the support and resources you need. We know that while it is vital to provide educators with data, of equal importance is to link all of our assessments with an intervention. We provide teachers with 100 domain-strengthening activities they can use after administering the EYE to support the complex classroom needs they encounter. All of the learning activities are rooted in the science of reading literacy and are designed to help strengthen children’s skills across multiple domains.

Important features of the EYE-100 learning activities

Clearly defined learning objectives that foster intentional learning.
An active teaching approach, inspired by John Hattie's research, that engages all children in the learning process and increases student achievement.
A differentiated learning section that promotes inclusion and helps teachers individualize their learning approach.
Suggestions to encourage, develop, and reinforce children's executive functioning skills.
Materials are provided to minimize teacher prep time (use is optional).
An Indigenous section that helps teachers to integrate Indigenous teaching and values into their classroom.

If you haven't already checked out all 20 sets of EYE-100 in our Knowledge Base, give it a try now! We'd love to hear how it works for you.

Important information for EYE-DA users

The EYE-100 activities were created for children in kindergarten being assessed with the EYE-TA (Teacher Assessment). However, the activities can be simplified for younger children by following the Tier 3/red triangle modifications under Suggestions for Differentiated Learning.
