Idea requires identification of the specific assessments needed to accurately measure a

student’s current performance level, which entails a review of the child’s education records,

current performance, and identified goals. This entails seeking information from teachers, the

parent of the child, including the student and records of the student and observation of the

student in diverse settings. Another criterion that needs to be considered is inclusion of the

assessment tests in relation to the assessment’s relevance, the skills that is being tested in the

assessments, and the reliability and validity of the assessments.

Examples of those tests are the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement, Wechsler

Individual Achievement Test (WIAT), and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children

(KABC) that yield data of the child’s academic level and intelligence. Some examples of the

informal assessments include tests administered by the teacher, checklists and rating scales,

observations, CBAs, and dynamic assessment where the student learning profile is established

through learner’s participation.

The importance of the use of multiple measures of assessment is therefore the only way

through which a valid and accurate picture of a student’s need can be obtained. Various types of

assessment reveal various aspects of the performance, thus, decisions are made upon a wide

range of evidence and potential tendencies are minimized.

Classroom activities are based on the outcomes of the assessments, where certain areas

may require support or enrichment; teachers have been able to develop specially designed

instruction (SDI) based on the child’s needs. For example, if a student has a set of skills that

demonstrated low performance in reading, it is possible to work with him or her and help

improve the skills.


This approach fits with the College’s Conceptual Framework which calls for the

preparation of professionals who are reflective, embrace and use evidence-based practices, and

practice in responsive manner to all learners. The framework helps in engaging diverse learners,

using process to teach, and assess the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process thus

creates effective learning ambience.
