Continuing Education Units (CEUs): 1.5 or 15
Clock Hours
(Note: Courses CEC 111, 112, and 113 are related. For
the most complete understanding of assessment principles, large-scale
assessments, and strategies for including students with disabilities in
assessments, we suggest that you take the series of three courses.)
This course will cover the purpose, content, and
results of large-scale assessments.
- Begin with a thorough introduction to large-scale
assessment, including its goals and its pros and cons.
- Review the federal and state laws governing
assessments, and understand the impact of assessments on students,
families, and educators.
- Explore in depth two of the most popular large-scale
assessment tests: the TerraNova and the Stanford Achievement Test
(SAT-10). You’ll delve into each test and learn about the test
content, the kind of results it produces, and the meaning of the test
scores.
Extensive links to state-specific information,
articles, and other resources are included throughout the course to
supplement and enrich your knowledge about testing. This course includes
optional activities and case studies that you can use to practice the
skills that you have learned and deepen your understanding of the
material.
