ED 205 - Educational Assessment

3 Credit(s)

Participants in ED 205 focus on creating learning experiences for diverse groups of children (e.g., children with learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, emotional/behavioral disorders) by using data from formative and summative assessment practices, as well as standardized tests and other instruments. Attention is focused on a variety of assessment practices (authentic, screening, diagnostic, formative, benchmark, and summative assessments) and consistency with standards and assessment anchors for PreK-4^th grade and Special Education. Assessment data helps participants modify instruction, use technology appropriately, and adapt curriculum successfully, as well as understanding the central importance of using appropriate assessment strategies as an essential component of being a reflective practitioner. This course provides participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to collect and use a wide range of assessment data in general education and Special Education settings. This course includes Stage 2 Fieldwork.
