DIBELS Next

I enjoyed the updated DIBELS information.  I have been assessing students and training teachers with DIBELS for many years.  I see it as a very useful screening tool if teachers and administrators know how to use it for informational purposes.  The updates to DIBELS Next addressed some of the concerns I had when I first started using DIBELS.  I really wish we had the opportunity to hear Mrs. Neslin present information from the I've DIBEL'd, Now What? book.  I enjoyed that information (presented by Mrs. Neslin) several years ago and found it very helpful. After hearing Mrs. Neslin's presentation of DIBELS Next, I am now considering re-testing a few struggling students from Spring with this more update format.
