Description:

Assessment in Special Education will provide the opportunity for intensive study of the purpose, philosophy and means of assessing students with special needs. It is assumed that, as practising teachers, students will have experience and knowledge in the area of assessment. Upon this basic knowledge, the course will build students' ability to critique, evaluate and modify assessment practices. They will examine theory and research in assessment to create their own philosophy of assessment and to build their praxis.
