The entrenamiento esencial is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the conceptual and empirical foundations of IDEL as well as training in administration and scoring of the measures. It includes a focus on the development of the IDEL measures and the linkage of IDEL to the essential basic early literacy skills in Spanish. The training will also include a model of how to use DIBELS and IDEL in a model of bilingual education, using both assessments to guide reading instruction.
