This scale is divided into categories, no values are assigned, categories are simply different fromone another
Nominal Scale
an assessment tool that produces consistent results has this
Reliability
1 to 99%
Percentile
CA is generally written as 2 numbers separated by a hyphen. 6-11, someones birthday is close!
Chronological Age
Transition goals should be based on these
Age appropriate transition assessments (AATA's)
In this scale, persons or subjects are placed in sequence with no assumptions of distance between them.
Ordinal
An assessment tool that actually measures this it purports to measure has this.
Validity
1-9
Stanine
These scores are the first to be computed by the tester. They have not be cooked yet!
Raw scores
The testing of this type of language often includes the setting, event, and audience. TOPL for short.
Pragmatics
In this type of scale, there are equal ranges between units of measurement, but the scales do not begin with a true zero.
Interval
Content Validity is defined as the extent to which the sample items are "this" to the population it intends to measure.
Representative
-4 to +4
z Score
During the test administration, the tester should be observing "this" to evaluate the students score
Behavior
The fifth edition of this test (PPVT-5) is an individually administered, norm-referenced instrument that assesses receptive (hearing) vocabulary of children and adults. Peabody loves pictures!
Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test
This scale begins with a true zero and have equal intervals between units of measurement. Considered one of the most sophisticated. Impressive!
Ratio
If you want to foresee the students performance on future test or school readiness. Your assessment better have it.
Predictive Validity
10 to 90 (50 is the mean)
t score
Percentile ranks are preferable to age and "these" equivalents because they are comparative scores.
Grade Level
The Peabody Test (PIAT) Uses a Reading Comprehension subtest and measures a child's ability to derive meaning from sentences that are read silently.
Individual Achievement
When using interval data, a better estimate of the variation of scores, other than range, is this.
Standard deviation
When determining inter-rater reliability, the minimum rate of agreement is this percentage. Sounds like an IEP goal!
80%
On a normally distributed scale, this percentage of scores falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
95%
Results obtained under nonstandard conditions should be reported as these
Alternate Scores
IQ tests and student labels of disability do not answer this key question every teacher should strive to know.
How do my students learn
