Test Resource Guide, 1987.
New York City Board of Education, Brooklyn, NY. Div. of Special Education.
The Test Resource Guide (TRG) is designed to provide professionals in the New York City (New York) Public Schools with a compendium of assessment devices for use in decision making; specifically, determining eligibility for special education services, planning an instructional program, and charting progress. The introduction to TRG describes: (1) testing procedures; (2) the psycho-educational model of assessment adopted by the New York City Board of Education; (3) standards for achieving quality assessments; and (4) the uses, development, and organization of TRG. This guide may be used as part of the assessment planning phase to help select appropriate tests, as a tool for increasing professional awareness of available tests across a number of domains, and as a staff development tool. Approximately 340 pages of test reviews and information are presented. Test reviews include the following items: intended purpose of the test, description, norm data, reliability, validity, and a section containing special alerts, effective uses, and comments. A wide range of tests are reviewed: tests of academic functioning (achievement batteries, readiness, reading, language arts, mathematics), adaptive behavior, cognitive functioning, communication and language, perceptual and motor functioning, social-emotional assessment, bilingual-limited English proficiency, and vocational assessment. State and federal laws and regulations are discussed. Chancellor's regulations are appended, as well as a publisher's directory, glossary, and bibliography. (MDE)
