Assessment and Evaluation of Regular and Special Needs Students

Catalog description

In this course you will examine assessment and evaluation as components integral to the learning cycle. Standardized, authentic, and curriculum-based assessments will be compared along with ways to use assessment as a teaching tool. Additionally, assessment as a way of "sitting down beside someone" is addressed as a means of problem-solving. Mandated New York State and New York City assessments and the development and use of rubrics will be reviewed in detail as well as the issues surrounding high-stakes testing and standardized testing.
