Woodcock Johnson Tests of Achievement In 2014, Fredrick A. Schrank, Nancy Mather, and Kevin S. McGrew released the Woodcock-Johnson IV Tests of Achievement (WJ IV). The newest release was expanded and is now composed of three parts: the WJ IV Tests of Cognitive Abilities, the WJ IV Tests of Achievement, and the WJ IV Tests of Oral Language. The individually administered test can be administered in parts and can each be used independently or in any combination to identify academic strengths and/or weaknesses (Schrank, Mather, & McGrew, 2014).…

As a measure of current general intellectual functioning, the KBIT-2 was administered and yielded a Verbal Score = 86±5; a Nonverbal Score = 55±5; and an IQ Composite Score = 66±4. The composite score falls within the very low or borderline educational classification at the 01st percentile rank per national age based norms and needs to be viewed with caution. Due to Hunter’s struggles with focus and difficulty attending to auditory instruction, his nonverbal score is felt to be an under representation of his actual performance. Repeated testing within the near future with this or a similarly constructed psychometric instrument would probably find Hunter scoring higher than an IQ band of 60 - 74. Analysis of KBIT-2 scores found Hunter demonstrating an unbalanced skill set between his verbal skills and his spatial, visually based skills.…
First, let me apologize for the tardy K-1’s this year. The lateness was a result of our transition and tax law changes. There was a lot of transition on the ranch this year: • The first new ranch manager in almost 30 years • The acquisition of (on of) the premier fencing companies in the State • Cattle prices at record levels • Five year average rainfall had been 12.7” vs. 2014 with 40.6” • The start of a Corriente cattle herd • The lease of 2500 acres of pasture in Kapalua You all know that Ken Miranda took over from Henry at the beginning of the year. Ken and Morag have finally moved into the remodeled “Burnett” house in Makawao.…
I chose to use the SENA1 assessment for my student, whom I will refer to as E, because he is in first grade. He is receiving extra help in math and is making great progress. He is also very young for his grade being as his birthday falls in August. E is very excited to work on homework with me, however, he is often looking to know if he right or wrong. Because of this, I recorded the assessment.…
As such, the item banks of standardized tests should be expanded by including performance tasks (e.g., short-answer, long-response, essay, and so on) in addition to the multiple-choice test format. While they allow for timely and efficient…

3. What type of assessment is it (e.g. screening, criterion referenced, norm referenced, standardised interview, clinical observation, self-report, checklist etc)? RBMT-3 A series of studies were subsequently undertaken to evaluate the properties of the test when used in clinical memory assessment of older adults. Results supported the use of the RBMT as both screening and diagnostic tool. (GLASS, 2000).…

Was the no “child left behind act” of 2002 a lawful decision of congress? Namely this act required that schools administer yearly math and language test to students in grades one through twelve (NewYorkTimes). These tests are used to observe students intelligence. Furthermore they can help the government establish the correct amount of funding a school receives. Standardized tests have a negative impact on society.…
Anyone can look at data, but to actually use it to improve anything, that person must understand what he or she is reviewing. To understand the data, determining “what additional information is necessary to understand student performance” (IRIS Center for Training Enhancements, 2014, pg. 2) is key. Also, in reviewing the data, it is important to understand the students who are taking the test and what disabilities they have. Some disabilities require more accommodations, and all of this needs to be taken into consideration. Another step is to look for expected and unexpected results.…
Research paper ROUGH draft Intelligence testing in schools has been a topic of high debate in our society. Since its introduction in France when French psychologist Alfred Binet “designed a formal test of intelligence that would help identify children who were unable to learn as quickly or as well as others” (Psychology book) to the First World War leading up to present day its adoption into schools has been marked by unfairness, unreliability, and invalidity. But, efforts have been made to fairly standardize tests such that issues of cultural bias for example are eliminated. So, intelligence testing continues to be an arguable measurement that “has spawned a variety of aptitude and achievement tests that shape the educational choices of millions…
Introduction Pre-assessments, diagnostic assessments, formative assessments, and summative assessments all have their own place in the classroom. They provide teachers with data that informs curriculums, instruction and ultimately additional assessment. The many assessments that teachers use to guide their practices are assessed using a variety of methods. When giving students a performance based assessment, the appropriate grading style is a rubric.…
An effective assessment will allow the training department to focus in on those areas that have the greatest need. Specifically, the assessment should provide insight into those areas or staff that is in need of training as well as identify what kind of training is needed. There are generally three areas of focus with a training needs assessment. Those are: Organization Analysis: Which is an analysis of the workplace and company which is centered around the environment, strategies, and resources of the organization. In addition, other issues such as technological change, globalization, quality improvement and employee-empowerment initiatives as well as any mergers and acquisition and restructuring might also need review to determine if training in needed.…
