For upper level undergraduate and graduate level courses, Assessment in Special Education: Practical Applications for Teachers presents a teacher-focused approach structured around the three primary ways in which practicing special educators use assessment. The text addresses why the assessments are used, how they are implemented, and what the results mean. This resource bridges theory and practice with case studies, evidence-based strategies, and clear guidance on integrating assessments into everyday practice. Utilizing practice-based learning, this text is designed to help pre-service and early-career teachers situate new knowledge in meaningful contexts.
The text is organized into three sections specifically based on the sequence of interactions that special education teachers are likely to have with students new to their caseloads:
Section I. Special Education Eligibility Determinations―Focuses on the comprehensive, multi-disciplinary evaluation process that is used to determine if a student qualifies for special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA). This section includes information about administering and interpreting formal assessments that guide legal decisions and intervention planning.
Section II. Progress Monitoring and Data-Based Decision Making―Covers a set of assessment practices that are used by special educators and other intervention providers to monitor student progress toward individualized goals across academic and behavioral outcomes. This book is unique among comprehensive assessment texts in providing detailed guidance about curriculum-based measurement, general outcome measures, and mastery measures as tools to guide intervention and help students maximize learning.
Section III. Classroom Assessment―Provides a guide to using assessment as a tool for equity, engagement, and daily instructional decisions. This section explores how teachers can design and implement classroom assessments that not only measure learning but actively enhance it.
