What are A-level Assessments?

• Tests which can be administered, scored and interpreted with the aid of the manual and a familiarity with the student population.

• Qualifications for administration and interpretation of Level A tests: • Minimum qualifications are a Bachelor of

Education Degree, experience working within a school system as a teacher and a familiarity with the topic.

• No formal training in assessment required

Informal Reading Assessment

2. Running Records

3. File Review

4. Leveled Reading Chart

5. Consult with Classroom Teacher

Examples of formal Level A

Analytic Reading Inventory

Rosner Test of Auditory Analysis Skills

PRIME (Professional Resources and Instructions for Mathematics Educators)

Brigance Early Childhood Developmental Inventory

What is B-Level Assessment?

• Tests that require specific training for administration, scoring and interpretation. These tests are more complex than Level A tests and require an understanding of psychometric principles, the traits being measured, and the student population.

• Qualifications for administration and interpretation of Level B tests: • In addition to the qualifications for Level A Tests,

Level B test administrators must have Master level courses in assessment.

What are the B tests in the AVRSB? TONI – Test of Nonverbal Intelligence

PPVT-4 – Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test – 4th edition

KEYMATH VMI – Test of Visual-Motor Integration BRAKEN – Test of Basic Concepts KTEA-BRIEF – The Kaufman Test of Educational

Achievement - Brief Edition

What is C-level Assessment?

• These tests are more complex than Level A and B tests. They require an in-depth understanding of psychometric principles, the traits and constructs being measured, and the student population. This category includes such assessment as WISC, WAIS and other intellectual assessment tools.

C Level Assessment Continued

• Qualifications for administration and interpretation of Level C tests: • At least a Master’s degree in Special

Education, Educational Psychology or equivalent,

• A graduate level course in the assessment of intelligence, and

• Any additional requirements stipulated by the publisher.

Examples of Level C tests in AVRSB

KTEA-Brief

Screener – any age

Inconsistent achievement (class vs Resource vs tests, etc)

Quick estimate of grade level (new students)

Struggling with core curriculum

Outside agencies request info on academics

KTEA-3

Grade 3 and higher

All agree there is a problem

Complicated cases with little background

No Response to Intervention

Considering SLD caseload

KTEA-Brief Common (5-8 per year) To demo to parents the

issue To get program direction

KTEA-3 Rare (3 x per year) Considering a full

psychoeducational assessment
