Tests not listed in the textbook or associated power-point presentation that are used without prior permission will result in a zero, with no opportunity for resubmission. Earlier editions for tests listed in your textbook may be used without permission if the current test has not yet been reviewed in the MMY.
Required: Look up a test in Mental Measurements Yearbook and Tests in Print Database (MMY) related to each of the following textbook chapters: Test Review 1 (ch. 16, Cognitive assessment); Test Review 2 (ch. 9, Behavioral assessment); Test Review 3 (chs. 10-11, General Achievement or Reading assessment) Test Review 4 (chs. 12-13, Oral or Written Language assessment), Test Review 5 (ch. 14, Math assessment).
Use this template to complete each section, moving up and down through the template with the arrow key without hitting "enter." Do not change the font, font size, or add bold or italics to your answers. You must use only the information from the most recent edition of the test selected that has a full review completed in the MMY. No other sources may be used for this assignment.

Education: Teaching Math to Students With Disabilities Working with students with disabilities (SWD) can be quite challenging, especially for teachers working on a full-time basis. Almost every classroom today has one or more students dealing with either an emotional, educational, or physical disability; and teachers are likely to find themselves looking for resources or information that would enable them teach all their students in the most effective way. There are numerous
Now we have examined two extremes in educational thought that have developed over the past century. Teacher centered and student centered philosophies differ significantly in their approach to the student-teacher relationship. Teacher centered philosophy does not depend on the student's wants and needs at all. Teacher centered philosophy uses antiquated methods, such as rote learning. However, these methods are quickly being replaced by a more student-centered approach. Student centered approaches

Math Anxiety I did not realize before that I had any feelings of anxiety related to the subject of mathematics. Math is not the most difficult subject although certainly it can be challenging. Yet, my writing indicates that I do feel math-related anxiety which therefore need to be better understood. From early on, I knew that math was not my favorite subject. For many people math is difficult, primarily because it
Susan K. Peterson and associates (1988) conducted a study on the impact of the use of manipulatives on different kinds of students and concluded that the result of using manipulative was positive for both gifted and disabled students (Peterson, Mercer & O'Shea, 1988). Joseph Martinez (1987) also explained that the use of solid manipulatives made studying math more fun as well as less hectic and demanding for most of
Each group of students can start their email-based social forums (such as Google and Yahoo groups) where they can stay in touch while not in class. These are pretty powerful with features such as real time message notifications, real time chat sessions and options to upload files. Tutorials available online on websites can be posted on the forum reference section. Any issues with a project currently assigned to a
