Important Session Information:



Standardized tests and informal measures give us a snapshot of students' language abilities. They don't tell us whether areas of difficulty are due to lack of opportunity or cultural differences. See how to effectively implement 3-5-minute teaching sessions in a dynamic assessment framework that yield powerful information to help accurately diagnose children from all cultural and linguistic backgrounds. 

Learner Objectives:

1. Design quick teaching sessions based on assessment results.

2. Implement 3-5-minute teaching sessions within an assessment to observe learning potential.

3. Use the results of a dynamic assessment to make confident diagnostic decisions.

4. Write on-point goals based on the results of a dynamic assessment.

This is an intermediate course, offered for 0.3 ASHA CEUs.
