Improving Learning Through Dynamic Assessment is a practical tool
for helping to assess and support children aged 4+ with learning
challenges based on an innovative approach. Contrasting with
traditional 'static' assessment methods, this resource enables
educational psychologists and related professionals to involve the
child actively in the process of assessment - allowing them to
measure not just what the child has learnt, but also how the child
learns, how responsive they are to attempts to intevene, and what
is holding them back from learning. It outlines the relevant theory
and offers a staged assessment process to follow, with strategies
for assessing cognitive and affective capacity. The resource
contains all you need to carry out dynamic assessment, featuring
photocopiable activities, checklists, handouts for teachers/parents
to use with children and training materials which explain the
approach in terms understandable to all participating adults. The
first practical resource on how to carry out this popular and
innovative form of assessment, Improving Learning through Dynamic
Assessment is an important resource for educational psychologists,
speech and language therapists, special educational needs
coordinators (SENCOs), specialist support teachers and other
professionals working with children with learning challenges.
Now in its second edition, this comprehensive textbook presents a
