Adaface vs. DIBELS Next

It simply helps us internally and externally. By externally, I mean we usually do a quick round of initial testing using Adaface, and internally, I mean we are planning to use it as skills assessment tool for our purpose.I am not sure if there is any control over the googlability of questions. Unfortunately, I cannot edit some questions, whose test is not super clear and I would like to correct it. Many candidates say that the test is anxiety-provoking

More intense face-to-face training would be beneficial. The students can utilize their accounts easily. I like the assessment three times per year & my access to see if a student has gained, and if not, then reasoning is given. Some of the reports are hard for families to follow and understand. Honestly, I preferred the computer interface from the past years as opposed to the current system.

• Sometimes questions are not elaborated or don't have sufficient material to grasp them properly, due to which candidates cannot understand them properly.
• There should be the option of providing hints as sometimes, we as recruiters, may require such features to judge a person on a few other factors as well.

Incentivized

• Presentation of the “how to”- I miss the older days of meeting for a week and learning the product inside & out.
• More user-friendly format for those giving assessments-difficult to use the home page & areas within.
• Parents/guardians have a difficult time with some of the written items, their lack of understanding.

Both provide BOY, MOY, & EOY Assessments. We Progress Monitor with both, but Renaissance is much easier for the students to use themselves. My students never complain about DIBELS Next testing (they like to see if they “move up.”) However, Renaissance is a product I have used successfully for many more years, and the ease of use is ideal when in a busy classroom.
