CBA-ID comprises easy-to-implement, reliable, and valid procedures for determining a student's instructional level and individualizing instruction by developing tasks that are neither too hard nor too easy. It is a key tool for supporting K-8 students who are struggling in reading, math, or writing, and is ideally suited for intervention planning within multi-tiered systems of support. Including reproducible forms, the print book has a large-size format and lay-flat binding to facilitate photocopying. Purchasers also get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials. This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series"-- |c Provided by publisher.

520 __ |a "In Curriculum-based Assessment for Instructional Design, Burns and Parker described a number of "authentic" (research-based) strategies and tools for assessing the student's prior knowledge, existing skill-level, and preferred mode of learning in order to maximize the instructional process. Indeed, in this book, Burns and Parker have developed a natural and practical extension of a conceptual format that was originally called, simply, curriculum-based assessment. The book provides much-needed clarification of the several terms that have been used over the past three decades, and it provides hands-on application of the instructional principles involved"-- |c Provided by publisher.
