Screeners and Informal Assessments Round-Up and a {GIVEAWAY}!

Back. To. School.

Whether that fills you with a little bit of excitement, a little bit of dread, or both, it's back to school time!  Don't worry though, a bunch of my blogger/material-making friends and I have tons of informal assessments and screeners to ease you back into the swing of things!  There's something for every need - and all TpT items are on sale August 4th and 5th!  Read on to check out all of the fantastic products and then enter to win an AMAZING giveaway!!


My "Common Core Based Language Assessment" is an informal language assessment based off of the common core, for K5-5th grade students.  Each grade level document features 8-10 questions that can be used to determine useful, individualized goals for each student.  Appropriate answers are given from kindergarten through 3rd grade.  Answers are not given for the 4th and 5th grade assessments since these students are more adept at reading and the assessment could be given in written form to students in those grades.

You can find this informal assessment HERE!

{Giveaway} Calendars, Themes, and Lesson Plan Organization for SLPs (2014-2015)

It's Back to School time!!!  Kidding... well, kind of... Let's call it "Pre Back to School" time.  Time to enjoy your summer vacation, but maybe, just maybe, think about going back to school.  But don't worry, I've got a new product to make it so much easier (and much more organized too!)  Introducing, "Calendars, Themes, and Lesson Plan Organization for SLPs (2014-2015)"!!  {Check it out and then enter for a chance to win 1 of 2 copies!!}


This material has it ALL!! 11 months of organized SLP fun (because I hope NONE of you are working in July!!!)

Here's a peek at what each month includes...

Weekly theme/topic sheets, along with spaces to plan activities, jot down materials that are needed, and check it all off when your set up is complete.  (Is it just me or do you love to check things off of your to-do list too?!) 



There's also a spot for any extra notes that you need to make for each month.


And of course, a calendar.  I've added holidays and special days to the calendar, but there's plenty of room to add your own events too!


Make sure to keep your IEPs in order!  There's a space for a student's name, due date for the IEP, tests that will be given (if necessary), the meeting date, and of course, a handy box to check off when everything is complete!


I'm sure that you're also involved in lots of meetings, so here's a whole page just for meeting notes!


Last, but certainly not least, are lesson planning pages (Monday through Friday, of course!)  These are a great way to keep all of your plans for the week super organized!
