Curriculum-Based Assessment Manual  -  Spanish

Students whose first language is Spanish represent the fastest growing minority in the United States. Despite the number of students in public schools who have limited English proficiency, fair and meaningful assessment of students whose primary language is other than English continues to be a significant challenge for educators.

Curriculum Based Assessment (CBA) is perhaps the most research-based formative measure of student academic skills. It can be used for decision making concerning individual students, as well as programs designed to improve academic skills in reading, math or written expression. Because CBA materials are taken directly from students’ curriculum, CBA procedures offer a solution to many evaluation questions such as what needs to be taught, which instructional practices are effective, and which students need additional support.

The Curriculum Based Assessment Spanish Materials Manual was created by Seth Aldrich, Ph.D.. Like its companion CBA Directions and Materials Manual, this manual contains a brief overview of CBA, directions for administration and scoring CBA, graphs for charting data, case studies, and assessment probes.
