Assessing Students with Special Needs

Well respected for its practical, applied approach to testing and measurement, this widely popular text focuses on how teachers can use evaluation as part of instruction. In this revision the author highlights what teachers 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 yet 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. Included are a number of highly useful teaching and learning aids, many of which are updated with expanded coverage and new examples, among the highlights:

• Expanded coverage of curriculum-based measurement, progress monitoring, and response to intervention.
• Updated information on the assessment process as required by IDEA regulations.
• Many new and revised figures, tables, and guides that help readers more easily connect assessment strategies and procedures with instruction.
• An expanded focus on assessment.
