Screening and Assessment Instruments.
Pokorni, Judith
Screening and assessment procedures are described for Head Start personnel. An initial chapter focuses on the importance of teacher observation and discusses the uses of behavior checklists. Part II presents an annotated list of 18 screening instruments with information on the developer or distributor, the age range of children to be screened, administration method, purpose, and subtests. Suggestions are made for adapting a screening instrument, and a sample of one Head Start program's rating scale is included. Six diagnostic/prescriptive instruments are reviewed in Part III. A publishers' list is appended. (CL)
