Academic Assessment and Intervention

<p>Serving students with academic deficiencies necessitates communication and collaboration among professionals from several disciplines. <i>Academic Assessment and Intervention</i> brings together divergent approaches in order to demonstrate that scientific evidence rather than biases or previous practice must determine assessment practices that are selected and used for particular purposes.</p><p>Similar to a handbook in its comprehensive topical coverage this edited collection provides a contextual foundation for academic assessment and intervention; describes both norm-referenced and curriculum-based assessment/measurement in detail; considers the implications of both of these assessments on ethnically diverse populations; provides a clear link between assessment evidence-based interventions and the RTI model; and considers other important topics related to this area such as teacher behavior. Intended primarily for graduate-level courses in education school psychology or child clinical psychology it will also be of interest to practicing professionals in these fields. </p>
