EDST 3820U – Psycho-Education Assessments


Many psychological and learning assessments occur in educational settings. These psycho-education assessments can include intelligence testing, cognitive test batteries, learning exceptionalities (e.g., Dyslexia), Neurodiversity (e.g., Autism), behavioural measures, and school-related mental health conditions (e.g., anxiety). They provide insight into student learning and behavioural profiles, enhancing our understanding of student academic and cognitive capacities and needed interventions and support. In this course, students will learn about these types of assessments, including their purpose, how they are administered, action and intervention plans for learners, and the roles of people conducting the testing, including school psychologists and psychometrists. Students will critically examine issues of validity, reliability, and biases of the testing measures, as well as debates about testing practices in education. This online course includes hands-on activities to explore various testing measures and case examples.

This course does NOT qualify students to do psycho-educational assessments.
