This course has been designed to help Special Education graduate students gain some of the critical assessment skills and knowledge they will need to be successful special education professionals. Determination of special education eligibility will provide a central focus for the course and will be organized around three course themes: 1) legal issues in assessment, 2) assessment instruments, procedures and practices, and 3) communication of assessment results. More broadly, students will learn the rules and regulations that drive their professional responsibilities relative to assessment, learn how to select and administer standardized tests accurately and ethically, and will become competent at leading the comprehensive evaluation process resulting in a comprehensive evaluation plan and report. This course is fully online, with some synchronous virtual meetings. Click View Schedule above for class dates and times.
