PSY 637 - Intellectual and Educational Assessment

This course will focus on the history, administration, interpretation and practical uses of intelligence and achievement measures. Emphasis will be placed on the administration, scoring, interpretation and formal communication of results of intellectual and achievement testing. The use of tests with special populations will be reviewed also. Intervention planning, consultation/collaboration in the school setting, and curriculum-based assessment/measures will be addressed also. Coverage of scholarly aspects of intelligence and achievement testing, as well as acquisition of core skills in the administration, scoring, interpretation, and utility of tests and results will be key areas of study. Note: School psychology students must pass this course with a grade of B- or better in order to be eligible for placement in internships.
