EDUCATIONAL EVALUATIONS
(18 PDPs)

This two day course is designed for K-12 regular and special educators who want an in-depth study of current instruments used for educational evaluations. Instruments to measure decoding, phonological awareness, oral and silent reading comprehension, spelling, vocabulary, written expression, and math will be studied. Participants will learn how to select appropriate tests, observe and record data, analyze test scores and performance, interpret data in light of students' school history, and outline accommodations and plans for remediation. Sample testing reports will be reviewed and discussed. Additionally, participants will learn how to design reliable and valid teacher-made tests.

Participants may take this course for one graduate credit through Fitchburg State College.
