Already shared with my coworkers, important to reinforce that assessments alone do not determine a child's abilities or need for specialized instruction. Particularly since most of the evaluation tools are not normed on the population I work with (kids with hearing loss)

This course gave me so much to think about in my evaluation and assessment processes! It reinforced information that I already know, but was a good reminder that an assessment is not the determining factor in an evaluation and that WE are the professionals who determine if there is a suspected disability.

I appreciated the two pronged approach of considering eligibility under IDEA. This is information that I can use when collaborating with my special education team when students are brought to our attention. Does the student present with a disability and as a result of that disability does the student have a need specialized instruction. I love the way it was pointed out that an evaluation or determination is not because of THE Test or A test. Moving forward, I will ensure that my evaluation

It’s easy to choose a test based more on our comfort or familiarity, but this course did an excellent job of explaining why we need to really dig into the test manual to determine if the test is appropriate for the child and the information we are trying to glean.

There was good information about the law. However, the instructor didn't seem to understand technical properties of tests or at least did a poor job of explaining them. The credit card example was especially poor at explaining the difference between validity and reliability. Additionally, although she appeared to understand the differences among the terms disability, difficulty, and disorder, she tended to use these words interchangeably which may be confusing to some.

It gave me a better understanding of what confidence intervals are. I also was surprised at the reference that there can't be speech only assessments as that often happens in primary grades and that interventions can't be used to stop evaluations (in the public schools we always say let's try this before testing and you have to have evidence that it didn't work. Also like the two Pronged qualification process
