TESE-5121: Student Teaching Mild/Moderate with Professional Seminar I

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. This 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, observation, criterion-referenced assessment, and other alternative assessment techniques. Participants will engage in discussions about assessment practices and patterns of language use among cultural and linguistically diverse populations, to include English learners, that may be misunderstood as language deficiencies. The dilemma of relying solely on traditional assessment instruments, such as standardized tests is discussed, and a variety of alternative assessment methods are explored. Participants will learn to administer standardized and informal academic achievement assessments and how to write a follow-up assessment report.
