Description:

As the number of member schools with Spanish Immersion programs continues to increase, so has the need for accurate assessment of students’ academic progress in their language of instruction: Spanish! To better meet the need for accurate and timely individual achievement assessment of Spanish Immersion students, we are excited to offer this overview and training of the Bateria IV Woodcock-Muñoz: Pruebas de aprovechamiento.

If you have a Spanish Immersion program at your school, please join us for this half-day workshop that aims to provide an overview of the Bateria IV Woodcock-Muñoz: Pruebas de aprovechamiento, including the different subtests and areas of assessment, an introduction to practical and best practice administration guidelines, and a discussion of the various test scores it provides and what those scores can tell us about student learning. The goal is for participants to leave the training with the knowledge and skills needed to administer and understand the Batería IV Woodcock-Muñoz: Pruebas de aprovechamiento.

We strongly encourage member schools with Spanish Immersion programs that have or intend to refer Spanish Immersion students for evaluation to send a Spanish-speaking staff member. Having achievement information in the student’s language of instruction will enhance our understanding of the academic achievement for Spanish Immersion students.
