This week Langsford hosted a group of more than 50 educators from across the city for the first of its Langsford Lecture Series' presentations of the 2012-13 school year. One of our directors, Stephen McCrocklin, talked about the WIAT-III and WJ-III achievement tests.
People have a tendency to take test scores at face value. Stephen stressed the importance of knowing what individual subtests are specifically looking at and the various factors that could affect scores.
Maybe this has you wondering.....
What is an achievement test?
- It is a measure of a student's acquisition of skills or knowledge following appropriate exposure to the material.
- It is NOT a measure of potential to learn, or ability to learn.
