Description
Improving Learning Through Dynamic Assessment is a practical tool for assessing and supporting children with learning challenges. This innovative approach involves actively involving the child in the assessment process, allowing educators to measure not just what they have learned, but also how they learn and respond to interventions.
The resource outlines relevant theory and provides a staged assessment process, along with strategies for assessing cognitive and affective capacity. It includes photocopiable activities, checklists, handouts, and training materials to help professionals carry out dynamic assessment.
Ideal for educational psychologists, speech and language therapists, special educational needs coordinators, specialist support teachers, and other professionals working with children with learning challenges, this book is an important resource for anyone looking to improve their practice through dynamic assessment.
