- Synopsis
- This update of the 2003 text treats the role of assessment in recent US laws (e.g., the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act-- IDEA 2004, No Child Left Behind Act) and new/revised tests. In introducing practical and ethical assessment issues, Taylor (Florida Atlantic U.) traces historical events, philosophical movements, legislation, and legal cases involving assessment. He proposes a model comprised of pre- and post-referral components that meet many states' requirements, and presents vignettes for discussion. Appendices include descriptions of instruments used for measuring processing skills, traumatic brain injury, specific target behaviors, and cognitive aspects of special populations. Previous editions appeared between 1984 and 2000. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
