Learning Support. 4. Assessment and Review.
Faraday, Sally; Harris, Richard
Assessment and review are the subjects of this document, one of 9 modules in an 11-unit resource pack designed to help trainers and postsecondary and continuing education staff meet the needs of special needs students in Great Britain. Having completed the module, staff should be able to: (1) use assessment procedures that specify students' special needs and how provision for them will be made; (2) identify and use appropriate sources to make an initial assessment of learning needs; (3) select and use appropriate assessment techniques; (5) develop a self-assessment procedure; (6) consider the appropriateness of achievement to meet special needs; (7) review the awards made by examining and validating organizations in relation to special needs and suggest appropriate modifications; and (8) make final statements of learner achievement. The document covers preadmission assessment, practical features of assessment, formative assessment, summative assessment, continuous assessment and review, validity and reliability, self-assessment, and records of achievement. Seventeen exercises are included. (CML)
