Here's a question for everyone:
I have a teacher who has mentioned that she would like to type in about 100 words straight from a book and be able to find the lexile level. - I have talked with our media associate and she says that she had been to a meeting where something like this was mentioned, but you have to scan part of a book and put it into some software. Does this ring a bell to anyone and could you shed some light for me?
Thanks!

As a side note- if you are a NWEA school, I believe you have the
rights to use the professional version of the Lexile Analyzer from
Lexile.com which allows schools to analyze their materials (text) to
determine the lexile level of their reading materials. We are using it
with our E2T2 groups to help teachers find the readability level of
their resources and also know the reading level of each of their kids.
If we want kids to improve in reading, we have to get them the
materials they can read (and comprehend) and know that the reading
material matches the kid's ability level. This is for all content
areas- so you end up differentiating instructional materials. (which
is a good thing)

I am very interested as NWEA Map testing was brought up by three of our four superintendent candidates. I know I have one administrator who would be interested in the demo as well.
Would the demo be at Eagle Grove?

Greetings all,
I am setting up a demo for the Webster City folk on how to install and
administer the NWEA MAP testing. It is an alternative assessment that
is
done on the computers.
We at Eagle Grove have found this to be an incredible asset and I was
wondering if there would be any interest from other folks out there to
see
the demo.
I think there should be two sections to the demo. One that would be
first
and that is an intro to NWEA and what it is about and a brief look at
the
test. (This would be for us tech nerds and administrators that might
be
interested)
The second part would be the actual administration part of the test. That would just be for the techies. It would include the server and workstation portions of the testing.
I was originally thinking that it would be great to have it on the March Meeting date, but the rep from NWEA is not available then.
I am thinking also sooner than later since Webster City is going to implement the test this spring and John would like to have some time to get it set up in WC.
Any way, If you are interested let me know and we can get it all set up. -- Lance L. Lennon District Technology Director Eagle grove Community School District 515-448-5143
