Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Written especially for future special education teachers who will work in public schools, this text examines educational assessment of individuals with mild to moderate disabling conditions. The author's applied approach to the material presented through a step-by-step series of hands-on activities provides students with thorough, guided practice in actually using the tools and tests they will encounter when working. Coverage focuses specifically on assessment of individuals with the highest incidence of disability conditions--learning and behavioral problems. It encompasses special education, fundamental principles on which assessment is based, and specific assessment tools and techniques available to the special education teacher. The Second Edition underscores the social responsibility of professionals in assessment to exercise fairness and accuracy in the decision-making process. This is possible when accurate standardized assessment procedures are used as one part of the total assessment process.

Great Overview to Assessment and Evaluation,

This review is from: Assessing Learners with Special Needs: An Applied Approach (5th Edition) (Paperback)
Most special education teachers only see the end product of assessments done by school psychologists. This book helps you understand the numbers and what they represent when looking at a evalutation team report. This book helps you to write more effective IEPs and plan remediation for appropriate areas of weakness and capitalize on strengths.

Assessing Learners with Special Needs,
By Debbie R "rebelteacher40" (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Assessing Learners with Special Needs: An Applied Approach (5th Edition) (Paperback)
I found this book to be redundant of all of the classes I had already taken. However, if you are taking the Praxis in Special Education, there are a lot of things you will find in this book to help you. I read it before I took the exam. It was easy for me to read, but I think it was also do to the fact that I learned everything in another course.In my class it wasn't even required because he goes over everything in lecture, plus the class is about actually giving assessments. If you buy the book, don't worry about its condition as long as you can read it!
