SELECTING, USING AND INTERPRETING STANDARDISED TESTS
Principles for educational testing - TWO DAY COURSE
In response to the recent changes to the JCQ regulations concerning Specialist Teachers, Communicate-ed has arranged a new two day course helping you to select, administer and interpret the results from standardised tests.
The course will cover key aspects for consideration when choosing standardised tests and the correct administration and interpretation of these tests including:
• Reliability and validity
• Currency
• Age appropriate testing
• Interpretation of statistical data
• Costs and accessibility of tests
• Interpretation of results
• Standardisation
• Using Standardised Tests for Access Arrangements
There will be the opportunity to discuss in depth a selection of tests from the following list: WRIT, WRAT 4, Access Reading Test, Adult Reading Test, DASH and CToPP. Please note that this course does not offer accreditation. You will receive a certificate of attendance, but we will not be assessing your skills or knowledge. Assessments for JCQ Access Arrangements: The course alone is not sufficient to enable delegates to carry out JCQ Access Arrangements assessments. However, alongside other qualifications and experience it could enable you to meet the required criteria.
