Examples of formal Level A Analytic Reading Inventory Rosner Test of Auditory Analysis Skills PRIME (Professional Resources and Instructions for Mathematics Educators) Brigance Early Childhood Developmental Inventory
What is B-Level Assessment?
• Tests that require specific training for administration, scoring and interpretation. These tests are more complex than Level A tests and require an understanding of psychometric principles, the traits being measured, and the student population. • • Qualifications for administration and interpretation of Level B tests: In addition to the qualifications for Level A Tests, Level B test administrators must have Master level courses in assessment.
What are the B tests in the AVRSB?
TONI – Test of Nonverbal Intelligence PPVT-4 – Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test – 4 th edition KEYMATH VMI – Test of Visual-Motor Integration BRAKEN – Test of Basic Concepts KTEA-BRIEF – The Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement - Brief Edition
What is C-level Assessment?
• These tests are more complex than Level A and B tests. They require an in-depth understanding of psychometric principles, the traits and constructs being measured, and the student population. This category includes such assessment as WISC, WAIS and other intellectual assessment tools.
C Level Assessment Continued • • • • Qualifications for administration and interpretation of Level C tests: At least a Master’s degree in Special Education, Educational Psychology or equivalent, A graduate level course in the assessment of intelligence, and Any additional requirements stipulated by the publisher.

Level B Report Template This is the report template when you must use to report results.
Remember each test has it’s own definition of the descriptive category - “average” etc.
Template is found in “ Resource School Based Forms and Documents ”
Where does the KTEA3 fall in the program planning sequence?
1. Classroom Teacher Identification – Learner Characteristics Profile 2. Adaptations – documented 3. Referral to Core team - more adaptations? Referral to PPT? 4. Program Planning team – referral to Resource 5. Informal Reading Assessment 6. Consult with Student Services (SLP, Psych) 7. Level B testing – possibly KTEA-3 8. Consult with Student Services – is full psychoed required? PPT and family informed 9. Refer for Level C assessment (CELF-2; WISC, Woodcock-Johnson IV)
Consultation with Student Services Review of past investigations and interventions Recommendation on Level B tests (including KTEA-3) Testing of Student Report Generation Template for other Level B tests For KTEA, use the canned report in the online scoring Upload to Confidential Docs in TIENET Consult with Psychology Full Psychoed required? Present to Program Planning Team and Family
What is the KTEA-3 Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement - Third Edition Pre-K through 12 (ages 4 to 25). Normed on 2600.
Norm-referenced and criterion-referenced Error Analysis 19 subtests, 14 composites Reading Math Written Language Oral Language
What is the KTEA-3?
CORE Reading Writing Math SUPPLEMENTAL Oral Expression Cross domain (e.g., listening comprehension)
What subtests?
Phonological Processing Math Concepts & Applications Letter & Word Recognition Math Computation Nonsense Word Decoding Writing Fluency Silent Reading Fluency Math Fluency Reading Comprehension Written Expression Associational Fluency Spelling Object Naming Facility Reading Vocabulary Letter Naming Facility Listening Comprehension Word Recognition Fluency Oral Expression Decoding Fluency
What composites?
Reading Math Written Language Academic Skills Battery (ASB) Sound-Symbol Decoding Reading Understanding Oral Language Comprehension Expression Reading Fluency Oral Fluency Academic Fluency Orthographic Processing
Pearson in-depth PowerPoint http://www.masp.mb.ca/wp content/uploads/KTEA-3-MASP Handout.pdf
What is the KTEA-Brief?
Core subtests, same norms Reading Single word reading Passage comprehension Math Computation Problem-solving Writing Written expression Spelling
Both are Groovy Both have online scoring Both have report options Co-normed, so KTEA-Brief composites can be used in KTEA-3
When do I use each?
KTEA-Brief KTEA-3 Screener – any age Inconsistent achievement (class vs Resource vs tests, etc) Quick estimate of grade level (new students) Struggling with core curriculum Outside agencies request info on academics Grade 3 and higher All agree there is a problem Complicated cases with little background No Response to Intervention Considering SLD caseload
KTEA-Brief Common (5-8 per year) To demo to parents the issue To get program direction KTEA-3 Rare (3 x per year) Considering a full psychoeducational assessment
