Literacy Toolkit - DRA -Developmental Reading Assessment
Developmental Reading Assessment is designed to be a classroom-based reading assessment for K-6. The primary purposes of the assessment are to:
monitor students growth on a variety of crucial skills and strategies that successful readers utilize,
help teachers diagnose students needs and plan for timely instruction,
prepare students to be successful at meeting today's classroom and testing expectations, and
support teachers and school districts in keeping parents and other stakeholders informed about the level of achievement.
When the comprehensive perspective of each student's reading achievement, DRA assesses student reading achievement in engagement, oral reading fluency, and comprehension skills and strategies. It also provides educators with information that helps them determine student independent reading levels.
The reading assessment has been designed to scaffold real reading situations in which students are placed daily. In this context, teachers can make objective decisions about student achievement based on observations and careful analysis of student responses using well-researched criteria.
DRA can be used on an annual or semi-annual basis to monitor and document changes in student achievement within a school year and across the middle grades. It can also be used more frequently middle grades. It can also be used more frequently with struggling readers to assure continued progress.

11 platforms for beginner testers
Mark Glushkov
QA Lead testing teams
Author profile
Domestic IT companies organize various training programs for testers: internships, courses, meetups.
There are no separate courses for test engineers in Russian universities, so it is easier for companies to train such specialists at their training centers and then offer them work on the staff.
It is more difficult to enter an internship than to enroll in a course from an educational platform, but it is free, you can immediately gain experience and useful contacts.
Also, companies are more willing to hire students from internal internship programs.
I am a Bachelor of Laws by profession. In my second year of law school, I was able to prepare myself and get a job at Yandex as a Poisk support specialist, and then became a mentor for beginners and responsible for the quality of answers in our direction. In 2020, he took a course at Yandex and got a job at Sovcombank. In a new place, he has grown to the position of QA Lead of the project. I know what skills are needed to start a job, and I don’t understand why mass courses don’t provide them.
In this article I will tell you which major IT companies have internships, courses and interns for students and how to qualify. As a rule, programs are aimed at undergraduates and recent university graduates, but there are also options for those who have graduated a long time ago.
Glossary
Testing - checking that the software meets the stated requirements.
Test Design - techniques for creating effective test cases.
Goal: with a minimum of tests, find the majority of critical defects.
Defect, or bug, - incorrect program operation caused by an error in the program code. When the actual result does not match the expected behavior of the program.
Checklist, test case - types of test documentation, according to which the application is tested.
Bug report is a bug report. Typically, a bug report includes the steps to reproduce the bug, the actual result, and the expected result.
Black box testing is a method of testing a system without access to the infrastructure and source code.
White box testing is a system testing method with access to the infrastructure and application source code.
QC (from English quality control) - quality control.
QA (from the English quality assurance) - quality assurance. Both are aimed at finding and preventing software defects.
Database is an ordered set of data in electronic form. In other words, a repository of information. It is part of a large application.
DBMS is a database management system. Provides control and management of data stored in the database.
SQL (from the English structured query language - structured query language) - a query language with which you can manage data in a relational database.
API (from the English application programming interface) - interface for application interaction. Some applications will send commands, while others will execute them without human intervention.
Sniffer, or traffic analyzer, is an application that allows you to intercept network traffic. Sniffers are used to determine where an error occurs when transmitting data in applications.
Task tracker is a system for joint work on tasks. It employs both analysts and developers with testers.
What a novice tester should know
First, I'll tell you what you need to remember about the profession of a tester before applying for an internship.
Testing is not an easy entry into IT. In addition to the basics of their field, a tester must know the principles of web and mobile applications, understand the basics of networking, and be able to write in the SQL query language. The list is endless, the main thing is to understand that this is an engineering specialty.
Testing is not the way to become a developer. If you want to become a developer, then immediately become a developer. Although testing and development are related, these are different areas of knowledge - you will only lose time for retraining.
It is not necessary to graduate from a technical university. This will make it easier to immerse yourself in the profession, but most employers look at the candidate's skills, not education.
Nevertheless, with a higher technical education, it is easier to learn and understand development processes.
You don't have to have experience to get an internship or intern position. But you need to understand what testing is, how it works, and what is the difference between QC and QA.
You will need at least theoretical knowledge of the basics and types of testing, what is the difference between a white box and a black box, what is a bug report, test case and checklist. Practice using test design techniques: the most basic ones are boundary value analysis, equivalence classes. Learn the basics of client-server communication, network protocols, and response codes.

How much do IT people earn in Russia
Some internships may require a basic understanding of test automation. One of the typical questions in selection is whether it is appropriate to apply it to a particular product.
A tester needs critical thinking, attention to detail, and aesthetic taste.
Equally important is the ability to work in a team and communication skills: a tester often communicates with colleagues on the project and from related departments. Patience and perseverance also come in handy: sometimes you need to run the same test cases dozens of times after new development iterations.
How to find out about internships and training in a company
Usually there is no clear schedule of educational programs, so it is better to make it a rule to periodically check company websites - the "Jobs" section or the career portal - and pages on social networks.
The QA Jobs Telegram channel publishes vacancies for testers, but there are also internships. You can subscribe to the mailing list with notifications about the start of recruitment, so as not to miss the deadline.
Even if the company does not have suitable vacancies for interns, you can still apply with the "I want to work here" button. This does not mean that an invitation to an interview will immediately follow.
But, most likely, resumes will be saved in the database of candidates and will be contacted later, when recruitment for a suitable position begins.
In this article, I have collected several programs with which you can start entering testing.

COURSE
Fintech from Tinkoff Education Format: online course with lectures and homework Teachers of the QA Mobile program will talk about software development processes, types of testing and test design techniques. They will also explain the specifics of mobile devices: including teaching how to use sniffers and logs. Students will learn how to work with code and version control systems, try to automate testing of iOS and Android applications, get acquainted with Kotlin and Swift. The best students in the course will be invited to the staff. QA Fullstack (Java) course program consists of the following blocks: Both courses are taught online, lectures are 2-4 hours per week depending on the program. During the lecture, you can ask questions to teachers in Zoom or Telegram. The course is considered completed only when all homework assignments are completed. Upon completion, a certificate is issued. /qa-engineer/ “If you want a significant increase, blackmail with an offer”: how much does a tester earn What to do. You need to leave an online application on the course page and register for exams. The next step is to fill out the questionnaire and pass the entrance exams. The questionnaire will include questions about yourself, motivation for learning and previous experience. The exam includes programming tasks, you can solve them in any familiar language: for example, Java, Python, C ++, C #. The correctness of the solution will be checked by the computer. Another part of the exam is the test. Mostly there will be questions on testing theory and cases that test how a person works in a product team. COURSE Format: online intensive with homework Vkontakte has educational courses in various IT specialties, including industry marketing and recruitment. Both courses teach the "gentleman's kit" of a junior tester needed to start a career. They also talk about time planning, the release process, and handling user bug reports. In my experience, few schools provide such knowledge: usually they are limited to testing theory. The Manual Testing program promises to teach applied skills for testing and ensuring application quality: The Automated Testing course will teach you how to automate test scripts in Python. This language is a good place to start: thanks to its concise syntax, it is easier to learn than Java, JavaScript, or C#. /paths-of-developers/ A sailor and a journalist about how they came to IT Here is what is included in the program: Participants of both courses are required to attend online lectures on Zoom and complete their homework assignments, which are checked by VK instructors. Points are awarded for each task. If a student does not turn in homework on time, does not show up in class, he or she may be expelled. The course programs include two milestone controls and a final exam. After passing the exam, a certificate is issued that can be shown to a future employer. The best students are promised to be invited for an internship. /list/vse-stipendii/ 10 scholarships for Russian students How to apply.

The course promises to teach: The program is suitable for those who want to write backend tests in Go and have been developing automated tests in any language for at least two years. To participate, you must have experience with Git and know the principles of the network. It is desirable to be familiar with Docker, CI / CD and have backend testing skills. Classes can be combined with work, they take place twice a week in the evenings. Ozon will invite the best graduates to the staff. /from-miner-to-it/ How I worked as a foreman in a mine, and then became a remote tester What to do. You need to take part in the qualifying contest on the All Cups platform: it includes algorithmic tasks on Go, tasks on knowledge of bash and SQL. The decision is given 10 hours, but, according to the organizers, it is realistic to cope in four hours. The highest scoring participants will receive an acceptance letter for the course. COURSE Format: webinars 2 times a week in the evening Bell Integrator develops software for banks, retailers, telecom operators and exchanges. The company regularly launches streams of functional and automated testing schools. At the school of functional testing, they will give practical skills, tell about competent writing of bug reports and work with bug tracking systems, the theory of client-server interaction and API testing using Postman. /students-stat/ Typical student The School of Automated Testing program includes training in the following skills: Lectures and seminars are held via Skype, to complete the course you need to do homework - this will help you gain experience. Students have the opportunity to practice on company projects. Based on the results of the training, they promise employment in the company as a junior tester, therefore they consider candidates who are ready to work full-time in the Moscow office. What to do. Admission to the school is on a competitive basis. At the first stage, it is necessary to solve a test task, at the second stage - to pass an online interview. COURSE Format: Webinars 2 times a week on Mondays and Thursdays SKB Kontur develops programs that help businesses maintain online accounting and cloud inventory, services for electronic document management and online cash registers. Kontur conducts educational programs for students in several cities: internships in Data Science, iOS, Backend C# and Backend Java and Spur C# and Spur Frontend schools. There is a separate course for testers - "Software Testing", it takes place in Yekaterinburg, where the company's headquarters is located. The course will teach: During the course, trainees independently study the theory and do their homework, and during the lessons they practice together with the teacher. How to proceed. To prepare for admission, the organizers recommend watching online lectures on software testing recorded by Kontur testers. After filling out the application, the candidate will be sent a test task on the ability to come up with checks, find bugs and document them. Those who successfully solve it will be enrolled in the course. The best ones will be invited to a paid summer internship at Kontur, and then they will be offered a full-time position. INTERNSHIP Format: remotely or from an office in one of the cities of presence Start is another Tinkoff educational program. Internships are held in the field of analytics, archives, management, development and QA - this is the direction just for testers.

Interns are taught how to build the application development process from technical specifications to implementation. All participants are assigned to product teams. For example, past threads worked on the Tinkoff Mobile project: they wrote autotests in an android application and finalized the method for testing deep links. The program will cover the following topics: You will need to not only test applications and write code, but also communicate a lot with colleagues from different departments. As a tester, you will be responsible for the quality of the entrusted product, your work will affect the final result. Load tester. Load testers check how a system behaves under a given load. Interns will develop automated scripts for the bank's financial platform. To do this, you will need: To enter the load testing program, you need a good programming background: Gatling, JavaScript or Go. /case-championships/ What are case championships and how are they useful for students and graduates The algorithm for completing internships is similar. First, the interns will be introduced to the curator, colleagues and all processes in the company, and then work on the project will begin in the team. The curator will help with any difficulties and questions. How to get there. Choose a direction, pass an exam, pass an interview with a curator and, if successful, receive an offer.

Sberbank conducts Sberseasons paid internships - only full-time students are invited to them. Among the areas there are design, business, cybersecurity, data analysis and development
Testing is taught on two programs: QA and Load Testing.
Sberseasons offers internships in both load testing and manual and automated QA. The test engineer will develop projects for the event segment of the cloud integration platform. The tasks may include testing the source code of the backend part in Java, writing and updating test scripts - API, UI, as well as UI tests in JavaScript / TypeScript - Cypress.
Of course, this is not an exhaustive list of activities, there will be many more.
Load testing. The tasks of the internship include developing scripts to emulate the work of users, testing fault tolerance scenarios, and developing automation tools.
For admission, you need to know the basics of Java, work with queue managers - Apache Kafka, application servers - WildFly, Nginx - and data storage systems - Oracle DB, Hadoop, PostgreSQL.
Both internships are paid, income is directly proportional to the number of hours worked. It is expected that the candidate will be able to devote at least 20 hours per week to the internship, although some managers require a full-time work. For 40 hours a week they will pay 53,000 R pre-tax, for 30 hours a week - 40,000 R, for 20 hours a week - 26,000 R.

How can a student save on licensed software? The first working week is aimed at adaptation in the team and in the company, it will be necessary to take several mandatory courses and get acquainted with internal systems.
The program lasts three months. If the internship was successful and the team is ready to take on a new member, they will offer an offer. If there is a need to continue the internship and the manager agreed on this, you can extend it for another three months. You can even change direction, but then you have to go through the entire selection again.
How to get there. The selection principles for both internships are approximately the same. All stages take place online: from accepting an application to an interview with a manager. First you need to apply on the program website. The questionnaire will ask about experience and other internships, grade point average at the university, specialty and form of study, and knowledge of programming languages.
Eligible interns will be called for a telephone interview. It will take no more than 10 minutes, it will clarify the data of the questionnaire and ask a few questions on skills. After that, they will assign online testing, where they will check professional knowledge in the declared direction.
The final stage of selection for an internship is an interview with the manager.

Yandex has a Young&Yandex internship program, including in the IT field, but is currently not recruiting for testing. An alternative solution is to apply for tester interns.
To find suitable vacancies, on the Yandex career portal, in the "Type of employment" filter, select "Internship", and in the "Directions" filter, select "Development" → "Test Engineer".
Quite specific vacancies are now available: for example, an OEBS module tester in Search, an engineer for testing unmanned vehicles There are also positions when employees are registered not with Yandex, but with an outsourcing company - they can be found on job sites, for example at Headhunter.
Such specialists are called "assessors", and they work according to a piecework wage system. This job is suitable only for beginners in testing: simple tasks will be entrusted, communication with the service team will not work, and training will be superficial.
What to do. You can apply for vacancies on the Yandex website directly on the position page by filling in your contacts and attaching a file or a link to your resume. In the "Additional Information" column, you can indicate why you consider yourself a suitable candidate.
It is better to carefully prepare for the interview, because Yandex promises to be hired. This means that you immediately start working officially, but in the format of an internship.

The MTS career portal has a separate section with internships for novice specialists - "MTS Intro".
They publish vacancies in various areas, including public procurement, GR and PR, procurement and administrative work, marketing and IT.
Periodically, the company also publishes vacancies for interns-testers. MTS does not have a special subscription form or a separate group with vacancies for interns, so you will have to monitor the site. Jobs are updated every week.
Internships are paid. They do not name the exact amount, they only specify that the amount of payment depends on the number of working hours and on the region. Schedule - from 20 to 40 hours a week, if necessary, it can be changed.
/keep-study/
How Russian students study abroad now
For some vacancies, you can train remotely. According to others, only in MTS offices in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Innopolis and in the regions.
What to do. You need to fill out an application with a resume and a cover letter on the job page. I strongly recommend that you write a detailed cover letter for your application - this will set you apart from other candidates.
In the cover letter, you can indicate why you are interested in the vacancy, what relevant skills and achievements you have.
CV screening is followed by an interview with HR, and then an interview with a supervisor. Candidates who have passed all three stages of selection will be called for an internship.
It is best to write a separate letter for each vacancy, this will emphasize the interest in the positionJOBS FOR
INTERNS Ozone Format: full-time internship in the office in Moscow or remotely by agreement
For whom: for students and university graduates
Payment: from 60,000 R per month based on the results of the interview
Duration: 6 months
Where to follow the recruitment: in the Ozon Camp group, on the Ozon Job portal and on the program website
Ozone has a separate program for paid internships e-commerce - Ozon Camp. This year, admission is underway for programs in finance, marketing, commerce, analytics, and management.
There is no testing program, but you can find internships for individual vacancies on the Ozon Job website.
Interns are offered a fixed-term employment contract for six months and a salary of 60,000 R according to the results of the interview. Of the bonuses: an office in Moscow City, meals, compensation for sports and internal training.
What to do. To get an internship, you need to complete a test task and pass an interview. Ozon specialists have compiled a detailed memo on preparing for the interview.
At the start of the internship, goals and learning plans will be set. After the first, third and fifth months, performance reviews will be held with a mentor and a group leader. If everything is fine, then in six months they will be offered the position of a junior specialist.
What if I have not been a student for a long time?
There are fewer options, but they do exist.
Apply for positions that do not only hire students. The easiest way to look for such options is on Headhunter, on the company's website, or in specialized tester chats in Telegram. The principle applies here - the more employers you send your resume to, the higher the chance of getting into the first interview. Sometimes you can neglect the wording "students only" if you recently graduated from high school.
Complete training with the help of the state program "Digital Professions". The state will pay from 50 to 100% of the cost of training in IT, the rest can be compensated independently or at the expense of the employer.
So what? 09/01/21
The state will pay up to 100% for training in the digital profession
Citizens of the Russian Federation over 16 years old with a complete secondary vocational or higher education can become participants in the program.
You will also need an account on the public services website.
Study on your own. There are many free educational materials available on the Internet. For example, a free online course on the basics of testing from EPAM based on the book by Svyatoslav Kulikov “Software Testing. Basic course".
