MetaMetrics Webinar: "Beyond the Here and Now: Long-term Views of Student Learning with Lexile and Quantile Measures"

In this Roundtable Discussion:
Learn how Lexile and Quantile measures serve short-term goals such as differentiating instruction by matching appropriate texts and math content to students’ abilities;
Explore how these measures also provide utility for long-term views of student growth; and
See how the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction used Lexile measures for measuring growth in 3rd- 8th grade reading over a 14 year period and hear how this research sheds new light on policy actions that were implemented during the time frame.

The Lexile® Framework for Reading A student’s Lexile measure is her reading readiness. A book’s Lexile measure is its reading complexity. a 770L reader a 770L book A Lexile® is a measure of both reading readiness and text complexity, on the same scale. 6
