Infos

A practical, applied approach to testing, measurement, and using evaluation as part of instruction.
Well respected for its practical, applied approach to testing and measurement, Assessing Students with Special Needs continues to focus on how teachers can use evaluation as part of instruction. In the 5th Edition, the author highlights what you really need to know in order to include assessment in the teaching and learning process. Coverage includes all of the core information expected in an assessment text and goes far beyond the basics to address multicultural considerations, curriculum-based measurement, curriculum-based assessment, and the most current versions of the most widely used tests.

This popular text shows you how assessment is much more than giving a test to a child. It clearly illustrates why assessment is an essential tool in helping children achieve, learn, develop, grow, progress, and succeed. With this resource as a guide, you'll see why, when, and how to use the complete range of assessment methods, tools, techniques, and procedures.
