Fourth grade student Jasmine Keller was informally assessed in 2009 and found to be reading at a level between first and second grade. Her vocabulary is stronger and at grade level with 85% accuracy. Evidence also from 2009 indicates Jasmine is able to produce ideas and sequence meaningful supporting details. Additionally, her math computation is weak and a pre-assessment found her scoring 32 facts correct out of 102. Her progress is inconsistent and unreliable, and many of her teachers have voiced concern regarding Jasmine’s weak short term memory obstructing her learning. Based on evidence from her assessments and classroom work samples,…

The Great Gatsby and Of Mice and Men are two of the greatest American literary classics that represent the Roarin’ Twenties. This was an influential period of time in American history due to the economic prosperity in urban areas and the transformation of social values. These two novels show two entirely different sides to the time period they represent, but they still stay inexplicably linked through their settings and their characters.…

Initially, I expected the WISC-V administration to be vastly different from WAIS-IV administration due to working with a younger client. However, I found that the two assessments were more alike than they were they were different. Furthermore, after three assessments, I am even more aware of my areas of strengths (e.g., my ability to motivate client, acknowledge when breaks are needed, and obtain pertinent information during a clinical interview) and weaknesses (e.g., my ability to recall and apply specific information related to each subtest).…
Before starting this assessment, I fully expected the results of this assignment to be completely off from how I see myself as a leader. I tend to overthink surveys and assessments like these. I was surprised to see that many of the chosen themes matched my personality and leadership style. As I grow as a leader I hope to develop other traits and leadership themes.…
Performing a developmental assessment on children from infancy to adolescence is vital for the future health and development of the child. A developmental assessment should be performed on the child when a more in-depth assessment is needed on an individual who may be experiencing a developmental delay or problem. The developmental assessment will help assist providers to identify children who may need an intervention, and differentiating them form children who are experiencing a normal verse abnormal variation in development to guide the plan of care and manage the child's concerns. The developmental assessment will confirm a developmental problem, identify the type of problem, explain the level of functioning in one or more developmental…

What role does assessment have in evaluation of teaching and learning? In what way can assessment help with quality processes? Make sure you use examples from your own teaching whenever possible.…
In psychology, clinicians use psychological tests as a tool to help aid in identifying important information in regard to the behaviors of an individual or a group. There is a major difference between regular testing and testing used for psychological purposes. There are various tests that can be administered to determine specific abilities or identify the characteristics of an individual. This paper will define the term “test”, describe the major categories of tests, and identify the major uses and users of these tests. Also this paper will also discuss the comparison and contrast the concepts of reliability and validity and explain how they affect psychological testing.…
