Assessment in Special Education, Pearson eText with Loose-Leaf Version -- Access Card Package

This title is only available as a loose-leaf version with Pearson eText.

This textbook focuses on current assessment issues and procedures that every special education teacher needs to know. Within a RTI delivery model, an integrated approach is taken emphasizing both in-class assessment procedures in addition to more formal, standardized measures and instruments. A practical application approach is reflected throughout the textbook.

The key strengths that make Assessment in Special Education an ideal teaching and learning experience include: alignment with one or more professional CEDC assessment standards in every chapter; practical, useful, ready-to-apply material; relevant case studies; and a look at the most current assessment topics.
