I can’t stress this point enough because it is extremely important. Teachers need the full physical evidence of student work when diagnosing student skills.
I have answered some questions about this in our Reviews & Replies, including yours, which sometimes needs to be revisited every now and then as teachers need to take back more control of student testing.Īnother important factor is the concrete evidence the tests provide. This is the main reason why the tests are supported by documentation of some 130 pages. My tests are classroom teacher centric, where the teacher not only recognises each test’s core scope and sequence but also their inherent subsections which highlight diagnostic points for student hand written responses. This is key to not only good teaching and classroom practice but also key to enacting professional diagnosis. The Waddington reading, spelling and math tests diagnose student learning difficulties via physical test forms and the direct interaction of the teacher marking the tests and assessing the student responses. Any other mode of delivery would affect the validity and reliability of my standardised tests. We do provide a comprehensive and self-running computer program School Data Express for recording, storing and analysing results, with additional instructions for importing results across a network if cross-school testing and results need to be worked.Īdministration of the tests comes down to the importance of the classroom teacher. Sorry, there is no online access for administering the tests. I note that you ask if the tests have an “online portion”.
I am wondering if our registration includes an online portion or what the status is of our registration. I see that we have The Waddington registered to our school. I am a new elementary coordinator at an international school in Malaysia. Many educationalists use the Waddington Diagnostic Reading, Spelling and Math Tests.īesides examples of questions, feedback and research by others, as an educator I try to maintain an awareness of educational challenges and the ongoing need to support teachers:Įmail asking about Online Access to tests - 26th April 2023
