TESE-5090: Assessment in Special Education

The purpose of this course is to expose students to a variety of assessment methods appropriate for individuals with mild to moderate disabilities, including those who are culturally and linguistically diverse. The course will explore a range of assessment techniques, based on an ecological model of assessment which recognizes the impact of the assessment context on student performance. Emphasis will be on those instruments, and assessment methods which provide direction for instruction as well as diagnosis, including, but not restricted to: traditional psychometric instruments, curriculum-based assessment, clinical observation, criterion-referenced assessment, and other alternative assessment techniques. Participants will engage in discussions about language practices and patterns of language use among cultural and linguistically diverse populations that may be misunderstood as language deficiencies. The dilemma of using traditional assessment instruments, such as standardized tests is considered, and a variety of alternative assessment methods are explored.
