SPECIAL EDUCATION

Description:

This course provides a brief introduction to data collection and effective practices. These assessments help special education teacher candidates understand students in different ways and focus their instruction on effective practices that can be measured and monitored. More in-depth attention will be given to Progress Monitoring/Formative Assessments. Progress monitoring data is crucial to the efficient and effective use of classroom time. Teacher candidates will learn to use ongoing progress monitoring assessments to see if their instruction is having the desired effect and make instructional adjustments as needed. Students will learn to monitor progress through group tests, running records, anecdotal notes, or other observation formats. Students will examine and apply how to use data collection at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels and connect these effective practices, assess these practices and make modifications in order to monitor and assess for best results.
