Chapter Focus
This introductory chapter presents an overview of the assessment process in general education in
today’s educational environment, reflecting current emphasis on inclusion and accountability in
education for all children. The evaluation of student progress in general education occurs
regularly. Teachers employ a problem-solving process incorporating intervention strategies in
UV
the classroom setting as well as screening and assessment of students who, even with appropriate
interventions, require additional support. Various types of assessment are presented along with
considerations of assessment of the child as a whole.
Case Study
IA
#1: Jaime
1. According to the Contemporary Assessment Model, what steps have been taken by Mrs.
Johnson?
_A
➢ Mrs. Johnson learned a bit about Jaime’s family prior to instruction.
➢ Mrs. Johnson began reading instruction by teaching early, basic
skills—phonemic awareness.
➢ Mrs. Johnson measured progress using CBMs and evaluated those
assessments determining that Jaime was not making expected
PP
progress.
➢
2. List the steps that should happen before Mrs. Johnson consults with the problem-solving
team.
➢ Mrs. Johnson needs to document what instructional strategies and
RO
assessments she is using with Jaime and the effects these strategies and
assessments have on her progress.
➢ Mrs. Johnson needs to clarify the components of phonemic awareness
in which Jaime is not successful (i.e., rhyming, initial sound fluency,
etc.).
VE
➢ Mrs. Johnson needs to utilize additional instructional methods and
assessments to determine if it is the instructional delivery model that is
not effective for Jaime.
➢ Mrs. Johnson needs to continue to collect data on individual skills to
determine in what areas Jaime is not successful.

, 3.What other information may be helpful in determining interventions?
ST
➢ A more in-depth family case study may be needed.
➢ Why did Jaime not go to preschool?
➢ Why the delay in enrolling in K?
➢ Determining Jaime’s language needs could prove helpful.
➢ Is Jaime an ELL or does Jaime have other speech/language
UV
considerations?
➢ Phonemic awareness is an umbrella term that covers a great deal of
sub-skills. Determining which sub-skills Jaime is experiencing
difficulties with is important, as is ensuring that Mrs. Johnson’s
instruction and assessments are congruent.
