Prompt: How did Asian American children challenge discrimination in their everyday lives, and how effective was their resistance?

Use Lee, Okubo, and Le to provide evidence to support your answer.

You must include a compelling thesis statement that fully answers the question. You need to make an argument in your thesis statement and use evidence from readings to back up your argument.

Explain why each assessment tool is appropriate for reporting progress, diagnosing reading skills, or providing outcome data.

There are many assessment tools available to teachers and schools today, so it is important to understand the purpose and value of each. Assessment falls into three main categories:
• Progress monitoring, which determines if students are learning at an adequate rate throughout the school year and provides the teacher with ongoing information to indicate whether a student will reach grade-level reading benchmarks by the end of the year
• Diagnostic, which is used to identify a variety of reading, language, or cognitive skills and is designed to give more specific information so that intervention can be applied strategically and judiciously
• Outcome, which evaluates the effectiveness of the instruction for meeting the goals for all students

A. Complete the UPLOADED “Assessment Summary Chart” to determine how each type of assessment (listed above) contributes to understanding student reading skills and abilities.
