Administer Achievement Tests with Success: Part 3-Sharing Results with Confidence


Listen Later

In the final part of our three-part series on administering achievement tests, we’re focusing on how to present results confidently in IEP meetings. Sharing test results can feel intimidating, but with the right strategies, you can turn these meetings into meaningful, collaborative discussions.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to present your report as a conversation rather than simply reading the data.
  • The importance of using parent-friendly language and providing clear, actionable explanations.
  • How to engage parents and team members by inviting collaboration and answering questions effectively.
  • Strategies to stay calm and professional, even in high-pressure or emotional meetings.

Plus, I’ll introduce you to a free tool that will make explaining percentiles a breeze for parents and help you feel more confident during the discussion.

Key Takeaways:

  • Confidence is calming for parents and helps build trust and collaboration within the IEP team.
  • Approach the meeting with preparation, clarity, and a focus on the student’s success.
  • Use visuals like the Understanding Percentiles Chart to make scores easy for parents to understand.
  • Always frame results as a conversation, inviting input and feedback from parents and the team.

Free Resource:
Make your IEP meetings smoother with a Free Copy of Understanding Percentiles Chart—a visual tool designed to help parents grasp percentile ranks and scores easily. Download your copy at www.spedprepacademy.com/percentilechart.
