Category: Dynamic Assessment
Dynamic Assessment is a method of assessment, which uses a “test-teach-retest” model. The emphasis is on the individual’s ability to acquire the skills/knowledge being tested after being exposed to instruction. Dynamic assessment is often contrasted with static assessment, which focuses on the skills/knowledge gained prior to assessment. Dynamic assessment is part of an effort to reduce biases inherent in norm-referenced testing that has resulted in disproportionate numbers of minority and culturally/linguistically diverse children being referred for special education.
