Standardized Assessment and Report Writing

Course #: spy g 602

Description:
The purpose of this course is to develop basic skills in the individual assessment of intellectual and cognitive functioning. Both theoretical and practical aspects of the assessment process will be emphasized. Factors affecting test results, including racial, cultural, and ethnic diversity, language difference, and ability difference, will be considered. Successful students will become proficient in test administration and scoring, assessment planning and interpretation using the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory, and communicating assessment findings orally and in writing. Topics include ethical, professional, and legal aspects of cognitive assessment, understanding and minimizing bias in testing, and approaching assessment with a social justice lens. This course is designed for counseling and school psychology students only as the tests covered in this course are secure instruments that can be administered only by appropriately-credentialed psychologists.
