Test bank for Assessing Students with Special Needs 5th Edition by John J. Venn
Test bank for Assessing Students with Special Needs 5th Edition by John J. Venn
This title is only available as a loose-leaf version with Pearson eText. Known for its practical, applied approach, John Venn’s Assessing Student’s with Special Needs, 5/e continues to focus on how teachers can use assessment as a guide to instruction. This noteworthy revision focuses on what teachers really need to know to include assessment in the curriculum. Coverage includes all of the core information expected of an assessment text, but the book goes far beyond the basics by addressing multicultural considerations, technology and assessment, high-stakes testing, and the reauthorization of IDEA. The book clearly shows how assessment is more than giving a test to a child, but is an essential tool for teachers as they help students achieve, learn, develop, and grow.
