Effective Assessment of Students: Determining Responsiveness to Instruction

Situated in a Response-to-Intervention framework, this textbook presents an overview of research-based assessment techniques for both general and special educators who work with students struggling with academic and behavioral difficulties. While covering a wide range of standardized, informal, alternative, ecological, and curriculum-based assessments, this book focuses on three core elements of the Response-to-Intervention approach: an emphasis on student outcomes, systematic and data-based decision making, and teamwork.
