Norm-Referenced Tests II is a continuation of training in the processes of assessment of children's cognitive; achievement; and language development. A variety of norm-referenced instruments will be reviewed; including broad-based comprehensive measures and diagnostic measures; as well as approaches for children from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Important theoretical issues in intelligence and research-based practices regarding academic development and assessment will be discussed. While students will be required to practice the administration and scoring of assessment instruments; the main focus of this course will be to develop higher-level interpretive skills and ability to communicate findings effectively in a written format.
