Donta’s Present Level of Performance (PLOP)
Donta, a seventh grade student, was administered the WIATT-III Academic Achievement test. He had a great attitude, came to school willingly, and worked diligently on each assignment given. During this examination, he would have to take a couple of breaks to regain focus, but the breaks were initiated by him as opposed to the examiner.
Reading Comprehension:
Donta was given several passages to read at his own pace and was then given several comprehension questions to answer orally. He worked very hard and was committed to trying his best. He was proud of his efforts. When reading Toontime Tees, Donta had difficulty making inferences and pulling information from the details in the text. He could not infer from the details provided in the text. Similarly, when reading Science Fun, he had difficulty with making inferences; he could not determine what would happen if a step was skipped in the process of the experiment.
Donta worked hard at decoding several words, but experience difficulty doing so. When reading How California Came to Be, he needed to refer back to the text several times. He also needed the questions re-read to him. There were several words he did not know, so he looked for words from the questions within the text in an attempt to answer them. He received a grade equivalency of 2.9.
Word Reading:
When given a list of sight words to read, Donta read 34 words correctly. He struggled with unknown words by inserting sounds that were not related to the letters provided. He received a GE of 3.0.
Pseudoword Decoding:
Donta was given a list of nonsense words and had to read them as if they were real words. He worked very hard to properly decode the sounds and was able to properly pronounce 14 words before the discontinue rule was applied. He received a GE score of 2.0.
Oral Reading Fluency:
Donta was given two passages to read and he was able to read the first one without having the discontinue rule applied. The second passage took him much longer to read and had several errors. With both passages, Donta showed fatigue at the midway point; he would insert words and not pay attention to the ending sounds. He received a GE score of 3.2.
Sentence Combining:
Donta was given 2 - 3 sentences and was instructed to combine them without changing the meaning, using proper capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. He was able to complete the task with several of the items but then struggled to use the words correctly. After several attempts, he got to the point where he simply wrote the individual sentences as they were without any conjunction.
Donta was given individual words in which he had to build sentences. He started off doing very well but then was unable to use the words in a meaningful way. There were also errors with spelling and punctuation.
His total GE was 2.4.
Essay Writing:
The essay was administered with a ten-minute time limit. He was to write about his favorite game and give three reasons why it was his favorite. He was unable to write for the full ten minutes (including planning). He struggled with the development of ideas and composing his introduction. He did not provide a conclusion, reasons why, or any elaborations. His entire essay was one paragraph with only two transitions. His GE was 3.5.
Spelling:
Spelling proved a bit more difficult for him. He was only able to answer four spelling prompts correctly from his starting point. He received a GE of 3.1.
Math Problem Solving:
Math proved to be Donta’s strongest area. He worked very hard to persevere in correctly answering a given question. He solved several problems in his head, including word problems. His GE was 4.9.
Numerical Operations:
Donta performed well in demonstrating an understanding of the order of operations. He attempted to use every tool he could remember. His GE was 5.5.
Fluency:
Donta was to answer as many equations as he could within a 1-minute time frame.
Addition- GE was 5.4
Subtraction- GE was 4.2
Multiplication- GE was 4.9
Social Skills:
As a result of his increased behaviors, Donta now has direct 1:1 supervision most of the day. Current behaviors of concern include: refusal to complete work and follow directions, hiding under objects and in tight spaces, running out of the room, throwing objects, making paper airplanes, cursing at staff, calling staff names, yelling, poking/hitting others, clearing desks/removing all items from desks. Donta is currently spending most of his morning in the resource room as his behavior is getting in the way of him accessing the general education setting. In the afternoons, Donta will often walk out of the general education classroom and find a place in the hallway to hide. A paraprofessional will stay with him in the afternoons when he is having behavioral difficulties. Administrative and support staff are called almost daily to assist with behavioral outbursts.
