Position Paper on "The Truth About DIBELS"
Overview This paper shares concern about potential misuses of DIBELS. In hundreds of schools across the United States, DIBELS have contributed to positive outcomes for teachers and children. As educators who care about children, one needs to be vigilant about misuses of DIBELS and similar misuses of any assessment one uses. The primary questions one may want to ask to determine the usefulness of DIBELS for the school or district are: Are DIBELS being implemented appropriately for the purposes for which they were intended? Are teachers teaching the core components of reading broadly? Are DIBELS being administered and scored reliably? Are DIBELS and the instructional decisions informed by DIBELS helping to improve reading outcomes for students in one's school?
