This training is necessary if you intend to administer the WIAT-III-T in the future.
This course will be hands on in that teachers will require access to a score booklet and some participants may even have the whole WIAT-III UK-T test kit. (All are available at Outside the Box Learning)
This test is highly reliable and is the same test for literacy tests that psychologists use. Participants will be brought through various exercises such as:
- Determining an examinee’s age
- Start and discontinue points for a test
- How to score tasks
- Determining standard and percentile scores
- How to do a running record
- When and how to regress to earlier age material
- How to identify weaknesses for intervention
