Synopsis

Known for its practical, applied approach, the fourth edition of John Venn's Assessing Student's with Special Needs continues to focus on how teachers can use assessment as a guide to instruction.  This noteworthy revision focuses on what teachers really need to know to include assessment in the curriculum.  Coverage includes all of the core information expected of an assessment text, but the book goes far beyond the basics by addressing multicultural considerations, technology and assessment, high-stakes testing, and the reauthorization of IDEA.  The book clearly shows how assessment is more than giving a test to a child, but is an essential tool for teachers as they help students achieve, learn, develop, and grow.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

This comprehensive, yet straightforward text covers the processes and procedures for assessing students with special needs at all age levels, beginning with preschoolers and continuing into adulthood. A broad range of performance levels is also discussed, including mild, moderate, and severe disabilities. Unique features include:

• Strong coverage of curriculum-based assessment integrated throughout the text (emphasis in Part IV), including a discussion of portfolio assessment.
• A case or mini-scenario at the beginning of each chapter to help facilitate reader comprehension and understanding of core chapter content.
• Diversity and technology issues meaningfully integrated into each chapter to make the discussion relevant to the topic at hand.
• Issues, content, and concepts related to specific CEC and PRAXIS standards addressed in each chapter; a listing of these standards can be found at the end of each chapter.
• Many resources for study and research offered at the author's website (http://www.johnvenn.com) and the Merrill Education Special Education Resources website (http://www.prenhall.com/venn).
