What’s Inside: In this episode, we chat with Dr. Adrea Truckenmiller, Assistant Professor at Michigan State University, about her research on screening middle school students in written expression. Dr. Truckenmiller explores how practice and feedback are critical factors in building student’s writing skills and how writing assessment in writing should be added as part of a universal screening protocol to prevent writing difficulties before they arise. Dr. Truckenmiller teaches masters and doctoral courses in Special Education, and mentors doctoral student research in the Special Education program and the School Psychology program at Michigan State University. She was also a researcher at the Florida Center for Reading Research where she directed the development of reading and writing screening and diagnostic assessments as well as state-wide professional development to use those assessments to inform differentiated instruction. Prior to that, she was a coach for district-wide positive behavior support and multi-tiered systems of support at the Devereaux Center for Effective Schools Devereux Center for Effective Schools. She is dedicated to exploring the link between assessments and classroom instruction. transcript
