Study Notes
Educational Assessment Overview
- Aim is to determine learner's strengths, abilities, and weaknesses across development domains for instructional planning.
- Focus on formative and summative assessments to adapt instruction and measure progress.
- Parents receive a comprehensive assessment report discussing results and their implications for an Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
Assessment Tools and Methods
- Utilizes strengths-based assessment to recognize individual abilities and skills of the learner.
- Various recording methods include:
- Event Recording: Frequency of specific behaviors.
- Duration Recording: Time length of a behavior's occurrence.
- Latency Recording: Time taken from a prompt to behavior initiation.
- Amplitude/Magnitude: Intensity of a behavior.
- Anecdotal Records: Brief descriptions of observed incidents.
- ABC Analysis: Exploring antecedents, behaviors, and consequences to understand behavior triggers.
Background Understanding
- Essential to gather comprehensive background information including medical, developmental, and family history.
- Prior evaluations by professionals and support services play a critical role in developing understanding.
- Learn socio-emotional and behavioral skills to individualize educational practices.
Assessment Process
- Continuous, ongoing observation and data collection to inform instructional strategies.
- Authentic assessments are recommended for an accurate reflection of academic and behavioral functions.
- AData analysis involves organizing results from various assessments, including checklists and performance-based evaluations.
Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA)
- Systematic process analyzing behavior within specific contexts to hypothesize reasons for those behaviors.
- Identifies four functions of behavior:
- Escape from non-preferred activities.
- Gaining attention from adults.
- Accessing tangible rewards or preferred activities.
- Seeking or avoiding sensory stimulation.
Intervention Development
- Interventions are formulated based on thorough behavioral analysis.
- Emphasis on observable, measurable behaviors linked to specific functions (what the behavior aims to achieve).
- Collaboration among professionals and parents enhances the effectiveness of strategies used.
Multidisciplinary vs Interdisciplinary Approaches
- Multidisciplinary teams work separately while interdisciplinary teams collaborate, particularly involving special education teachers.
- Triangular approach emphasizes the learning processes between parents and teachers for better educational outcomes.
