- Summary:
-
This report examines outcomes of the Primary Language Record (PLR), a program for systematically observing students in various aspects of their literacy development. The PLR uses classroom events and samples of student work to record students' progress and interests, recommend strategies for addressing needs and building on talents, and discuss ideas and perceptions with students, their parents, and faculty. This report examines the PLR in New York City's Public School 261, which has participated in this project since its inception in 1991. The following topics are covered: (1) concerns about standardized testing; (2) a general overview of the PLR; (3) a description of the PLR as implemented in P.S. 261; (4) the influence of PLR on teaching, learning, and assessment; and (5) lessons for implementing the PLR. Appendices include suggested parent interview questions; suggested student interview questions; PLR forms for observations; and work samples. (MN)
