Be an Expert Evaluator Series: From Data to Decisions
Expert Session #3: -From Score Reports to Student Stories (A Thematic, Integrated Approach to Evaluation Writing)






Are you an Educational Diagnostician or School Psychologist that wants to be an expert in your field?

Move beyond collecting data to truly using it. This four-part series is designed for evaluators ready to sharpen their thinking, strengthen their analysis, and make more confident, defensible decisions. Across sessions, we’ll explore how to leverage AI responsibly in work sample analysis, select assessments with intention, transform score reports into meaningful student stories, and triangulate data for clear SLD decision-making. Each session is practical, thought-provoking, and grounded in real-world application—so you leave with tools you can use immediately to elevate your evaluations.


Important Session Information:


Many evaluation reports have become stagnant, organized test by test, filled with rewritten score summaries and lengthy test descriptions that add little meaning and, as policy guidance makes clear, should not substitute for analysis. This session challenges that pattern and reframes report writing as the disciplined work of telling the story of a student. Participants will examine how integrated data analysis allows evaluators to move beyond isolated scores and toward coherent themes that reflect patterns across classroom performance, intervention data, work samples, observations, and formal assessment results. We will explore how to restructure reports away from a test-by-test format toward a thematic approach that aligns with research and policy expectations, enhances educational relevance, and yields clearer, defensible interpretive statements.
