Assessment Description
General education teachers, special education teachers, and the rest of the special education team work together to address eligibility for special education services according to legal requirements defined by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Understanding the assessment and eligibility process required by law is a professional responsibility for all educators on an IEP team. Teams must understand typical development and consider the effects of culture, language, and environment on achievement when identifying assessments for the psychoeducational evaluation, administering assessments, and determining eligibility as a member of the multidisciplinary team.
Create a 3-5 minute video presentation that addresses the following:
Describe the process for referral and eligibility determination for special education services. Explain the timeline including the typical number of days from referral to evaluation, eligibility determination, and IEP development.
Describe the roles of general education teachers and special education teachers participating on a multidisciplinary team that determines eligibility.
Address the importance of understanding typical development when evaluating students to determine eligibility of special education services.
Identify one formal and one informal assessment special education teachers may use for their portion of a psychoeducational evaluation report. Describe the effects of language, culture, academic experiences, and family background that influence testing results when teams evaluate to determine eligibility.
Support your video with a minimum of two scholarly resources.
Remember, video and audio quality are important and should be taken into consideration. Ensure your video is filmed with sufficient lighting and the volume is adequate for viewers to hear. Intonation, expression, proper speech, and professional attire are expected.
Use an online video platform such as Loom, YouTube, or Vimeo to upload your completed video. Ensure that others can access and view your linked video prior to submitting to the LMS. If you upload your video to YouTube, select the “unlisted” option.
APA format is required for essays only. Solid academic writing is expected for all presentation formats, and in-text citations and references should be presented using guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

is one thing you wish you learned more about and why?
You have been asked by your school to write an assessment guide for your peers. Your school would like your help in developing other teachers’ skills in evaluating assessment data to improve student learning and promote accountability.
Write a 800 to 1,050-word assessment guide that analyzes the multiple purposes of assessment.
Include the following in your analysis:
How formative and summative assessment can be used to inform teaching decisions
How assessment can be used effectively to identify learner strengths and promote learner growth
How reliability and validity analysis can be used to evaluate assessment data and be used for learner growth and accountability
The ways technology can be incorporated to help students manage their own learning and assess their progress
How various assessments can be used ethically and effectively to support, verify, and document learning
The kinds of data you will use from the different types of assessments to inform your teaching
The tools you would use to report this data—describe these tools.
How making decisions based on assessment data limits personal bias
Cite a minimum of 2 peer-reviewed sources.

Points 100
Read, review, summarize, and reflect on one professional article related to literacy or reading in the classroom. There are several articles posted on Canvas, but if you wish, you may find your own outside of the Canvas page. You are to write a 2-5 page summary, 7 pages the absolute most, cite it using APA. and include a paragraph to a page reflection on how you think it relates to the real world classroom or children today.
State Standards, Objective Statements/Learning Targets:
Identify (and refine) at least two learning standards to be
addressed.
State at least 4 measurable learning targets [LT] (3-part
learning objectives for the teacher) and identify/categorize the Knowledge or Reasoning LT’s , (as explained
in Chapter 3) to be assessed. Use the attached 3-part objective cheat sheet
Download 3-part objective cheat sheetas a model.
Suggestion: Do not use the chart table when writing your
objective statement (that is just to illustrate how to write the 3 parts of the
statement) but it may help to color code your objective statement’s behavior,
condition and criterion for clarity and as practice until you master the skill.
Restate the learning targets in developmentally appropriate
terms for the age group you are working with.
As your culminating
project you will create, administer, analyze, a formative (PERFORMANCE-BASED)
FORMATIVE assessment based on the grade and subject you work with. The purpose
of this project is:
How to select
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FROM SAMPLE CURRICULUM AND EVALUATE IT FOR ITS
APPROPRIATENESS FOR A SAMPLE CONTEXT FOR LEARNING USING A RUBRIC TO EVALUATE
ITS EFFECTIVENESS
Use multiple
methods of diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments of student
performance in order to plan, DELIVER, and modify instruction.
PREASSESSMENT

IMPLEMENTATION OF SAID ASSESSMENT THROUGH VIDEO ANALYSIS OF ITS DESIGN AND
IMPLEMENTATION WITH THE DANIELSON DOMAINS: 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 3a, 3b, 3e
How to use
multiple measures to assess and document student growth, evaluate instructional
effectiveness, and modify instruction.
How use multiple
methods of assessment and data sources in making educational decisions for
special education students.
Steps for completing Assignment 3:
Each segment of this assignment will be completed after each
corresponding module.
The goal of this assignment is to create a formative
assessment based on the readings and your own research.
You will be creating a formative assessment using an
existing lesson plan (must be achievable in one period), deliver the lesson
following the plan. You will be examining NY State Standards and then
developing learning objectives (for the teacher) and learning targets (for the
student). You will be expected to implement this assessment with at least two
grade level students*, analyze their work and make recommendations for
assessment refinements by the end of this course.
Part 1: Lesson Selection – Due in Module 3:
If this is a lesson that you have created, you will need to
create the assessments and rubrics. If using the existing assessments which
come with the existing curriculum, you will differentiate the assessment to
meet the student needs.
You will read Decomposition for a Download read
Decomposition for analyzing, selecting, and adapting curriculum materials,
Download nalyzing, selecting, and adapting curriculum materials,then analyze
the curriculum using the Tool for Analyzing and Adapting Curriculum Materials
Download Tool for Analyzing and Adapting Curriculum Materialsand then do the
following:
Identify the academic focus of the materials;
Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural
relevance;
Consider student thinking in relation to the core content
and activities;
Adapt the materials and create a more complete plan to use
in the classroom.
If using existing curricula, you can make annotations on the
existing curriculum of any adaptation you are considering making. If you do not
have access to a school curriculum, use open source curriculum. Here are some
ideas where you can find curriculum/units/lessons:
