rule out before you rule in
Drawn for this page. A strong report shows why the other explanations do not fit, not only why the chosen one does.

How to use it

  1. Start a review with a short report code, never the student’s name.
  2. Read the whole report once before marking anything.
  3. Mark each check clear, needs revision or not applicable.
  4. Write comments by section, each with a priority.
  5. Give the author the printed review, must-fix items first.

Review a report

What the review looks for

Ruling out

Differential assessment means showing why other explanations do not account for the difficulty: attendance, instruction, language, vision and hearing, emotional factors. A report that only builds the case for one category leaves the team unable to judge.

Scores and uncertainty

Every score carries measurement error. Reporting a confidence interval, and stating anything that limited validity (language, accommodations, effort, conditions), follows the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing.

What it is not

A collegial review of a draft. It does not decide eligibility; the team does that, with the parent, under your state’s criteria.
