Review Evaluation Samples

additional samples upon request

An effective evaluation describes strengths and weaknesses, uncovers hidden strengths, explains the specific nature of a disability or problem, how it interferes with learning and prescribes detailed steps to take as intervention.

AN EFFECTIVE EVALUATION RECOGNIZES THAT:

intervention depends on an understanding of the problem
intervention depends on an understanding of the child's strengths

scores are not enough

practice and drill are NOT the keys to learning

errors are critical to both learning and diagnosis

strengths are at least as important as weaknesses

all aspects of a child develop in interaction with each other

individualization sets up a relationship between learner and information to be learned

results and recommendations need to be accessible to parents
