Document Summary

All provinces and territories adhere to the inclusion model to varying degrees. Note on students with special needs: some educators distinguish between exceptionalities and disabilities. Exceptionalities are usually considered in a more broad sense: while disa(cid:271)ilit(cid:455) is (cid:373)o(cid:396)e (cid:396)est(cid:396)i(cid:272)ti(cid:448)e. the latte(cid:396) is ofte(cid:374) defi(cid:374)ed as (cid:862)a(cid:374) i(cid:374)a(cid:271)ilit(cid:455) to do something, a diminished capacity to perform in a specific way. Assessment: assessment is a dynamic and continuous process. Four major roles teachers play include: consumers/understand the assessment information, producers/administer tests, conduct observations, communicators/iep-sharing assessment information, developers/creating of assessment instruments. Assessment is critical in each of the major phases of planning process. Four approaches should be used to gather information on students: observation. Ex: charting frequency, duration, and intensity of specific behavior: recollection/interview checklists. Ex: interview or rating scale guides parents/guardians in recalling information about the student: record or portfolio review.
