A report:

Check with your school where you are student teaching or


some other school about which assessment is used for
Cognitive assessment and one for achievement. Report
something about each.

In the school I am student teaching in, they use different


assessments for cognitive assessment and then for
achievement test. They use the WISC-IV for cognitive
assessment. This test was chosen by the school district
but the school psychologist they have given this
assessment to students who qualify for cognitive
disabilities. Within this test is verbal comprehension,
perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing
speed.

For the achievement part, the school uses the KTEA


Achievement test which involved reading, math, written
language and oral language. They have said this tests
works for them because it breaks it down into separate
categories for them to understand which area the student
is struggling with.
