    Another important factor is that the test was given at a mean age 27.2 years of age so all the subjects have gone through the same amount of mandatory education(kindergarden-highschool). 2.

    KBIT 2 Summary

    • 444 Words
    • 2 Pages

    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.…

    1. The name of the assessment was originally an acronym for the states that were originally included in the assessment, which were “Wisconsin (WI), Delaware(D), and Arkansas(A)”, but Arkansas “dropped out”, so it later became the “World-class Instructional Design and Assessment”. Now it is just known by “WIDA” (Mission & the WIDA Story). The WIDA is only given in English, I could not find any information about the assessment being done in any other language, which I believe is because the assessment is testing English proficiency. The “Alternate ACCESS for ELLs is an assessment of English language proficiency for English language learners who have significant cognitive disabilities” (Alternate ACCESS for ELLs).…

    Through the history and evolution of education, mentors have struggled over the best way to challenge their students to reach their peak. Although there are countless methods that have been debated and finessed, the use of the traditional grading scale seems to be a large source of current disputes. Some teachers argue that such a fixed system of testing and ordering pits students against each other, creating an air of competition that should not exist in the classroom. It gives a child a number and tells them how “good” they are. Other educators say that this is not necessarily detrimental.…

    This sample could make it difficult to analyze the differences in reliability for the different minority groups because they are underrepresented (Whiston, 2013). In addition, there were more females than males in the sample, making it difficult to generalize to males. Also, although the original inventory has been used with students as young as 13 and the original inventory was shown to be at a sixth-grade reading level, the review of the current BDI-II shows that only college and clinical patients were used in the evaluation sample (Farmer, 2001). This would warrant caution when using the BDI-II with students. This is also an ethical consideration as school counselors need to consider the students’ developmental age, level of competence, and language skills before assessments are given, ASCA ethical standard A.9.c (ASCA, 2010).…

    English language learners (ELLs) are the fastest growing student population within the United States. According to a recent report by the U.S Government Accountability Office, approximately 5 million ELL students were enrolled in schools, representing an estimated 10% of all public school students (GAO, 2006). In California, it is already the case that more than 25% of the students in grades PK-12 are ELLs (Stokes-Guinan & Goldenberg, 2010). Therefore, it is of utmost importance to understand the issues concerning instruction, assessment and classification of ELL students for educators, administrators and school psychologists. It is also imperative to note that English language proficiency assessments play a vital role in the life of an ELL…

    My understanding of intellectual disabilities has expanded because now I am able to relate the specifics from our textbook to experiences I have had while helping at Younglife’s Capernaum camp, for special needs individuals. I was surprised to read in our textbook that limited intellectual ability is defined as a score of 70 or less on intelligence testing. The Capernaum camp experience is for anyone with a disability, whether physical or intellectual, and the range of issues spans greatly when we are at camp, because so many regional groups come during the same period of time. A couple of times a year I am the camp nurse for the group, and the camp is about an hour away.…
