Assessment and Evaluation of Students with Diverse Learning Needs

Catalog description

In this course, formal and informal assessments are examined to support the identification and performance of students with disabilities in a variety of general and special education school settings. The roles of formal evaluation teams and their impact on placement, services and support will be examined. Culturally responsive practice, supporting diverse student populations, and the assessment of Multilingual Language Learners will also be addressed. Analyzing assessment data will lead to the identification of student academic and behavioral performance, instructional decisions, and other educational recommendations. A field experience will enable students to apply knowledge to practice.
