The purpose of this assignment is to discover and familiarize yourself with 2 assessment tools that are available for teachers to use to screen students for behavior problems. These assessments are standardized and formal, however, they do not require certification to administer. This assignment also provides an opportunity for you to think critically about the practice of assessment standardization and culturally sustaining pedagogy. The single component of this assignment is a completed review of 3-4 assessments that includes the following content: Content: Section 1: Name the assessment and provide an APA citation. Describe the stated purpose of the assessment. Describe the basic details for use (group vs. individual; number of items and duration; the mode of testing such as computer assisted, paper and pen, listening; any modifications and accommodations for disability) Section 2: Reflect on the use of the assessment. What would it reveal to you about your students? How should the information be used? Would changes need to be made to align its use with culturally responsive pedagogy? Does the assessment have a component for providing feedback directly to students? Should the assessment tool not be used, with an explanation of why not? Section 3: Describe your plan for your classroom. How will you assess your students behavior and social emotional well being? What tools will you use? How will you use the information to create your classroom climate?
