SPYF 534 Cognitive Assessment in Contemporary School Practice
Candidates examine different models and methods of assessing cognitive abilities in children and adolescents. Emphasis is placed upon practicing the administration and scoring procedures of measures commonly used to assess individual cognitive ability and processing in educational settings. Candidates develop an understanding of the questions these measures address and the integration of these measures with other tools. Candidates critically examine the nondiscriminatory use of these tools with all student populations. The candidate will become proficient in administering an individually administered cognitive evaluation. This course will be offered during either the summer or fall term and includes a three-day in-person residency component. Students are expected to plan accordingly to attend the full residency, as it is a required part of the course experience. This course has an experiential learning component in the schools.
