Math Assessment, Instruction, and Intervention

Catalog description

This course will address the use of formal and informal assessment procedures to design and evaluate robust math instruction and intervention for children in kindergarten through high school. The foci of the course include the knowledge and skills needed to choose and give appropriate math assessments for a variety of purposes, data-based decision-making to guide instructional planning and intervention design, and understanding struggling math learners including those with a range of mild/moderate disabilities. Instruction will be delivered within a context of an ecological, collaborative problem-solving model. Students will be instructed on how to apply both formal and informal assessments to a problem-solving model aimed at the design of robust, explicit, math instruction. An emphasis will be placed on creating a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) for all learners.
