EDH 601 - SPED: Assessment Process

3 credit(s)
This course is designed to examine approaches for the academic and social assessment of students with disabilities. The focus is on classroom-based (curriculum) assessment procedures appropriate for teachers working in elementary or secondary special education settings. The course is organized around three major themes: measurement concepts, evaluation of student performance, and assessment of basic skills and content knowledge. Measurements concepts will provide the knowledge base for evaluating diagnostic and assessment instruments. Evaluation of student performance will discuss three strategies: (a) norm-referenced assessments, (b) criterion-referenced systems, and (c) individually-referenced assessments. Each academic area (e.g., reading, mathematics, spelling, and writing) and content knowledge assessment provide a model of assessment consistent with both classroom practices and empirical support.
Prerequisite(s): EDH 501.
