Continual, ongoing assessment, is a critical component of all phases of Response to Intervention. First, there is the universal screening assessment, in which every child is screened for potential learning problems. Next, assessment must be used to monitor whether appropriate progress is being made. Then comes diagnostic testing, if further information is necessary. Finally, end of the year outcome assessments are given to judge whether interventions have been successful. These components of Response to Intervention and more valuable information can be found at: http://www.cde.state.co.us/RtI/AssessMonitor.htm
Educating families so they can advocate for their children is an important ethical consideration in special education assessment. http://www.specialchildreneducation.com/Home_Page.html is a website that does just this. With sections on assessment, recommended reading, interventions, and the option to submit questions, this website is a great starting point
Unfortunately the Utah State Office of Education doesn't have a lot to offer in the way of special education resources. However, in searching for summary report templates, I came across the Georgia Department of Education website. They have many useful templates uploaded. The qualifying report contains the same data sections with which we are familiar, but breaks everything into simple tables. http://www.doe.k12.ga.us/Curriculum-Instruction-and-Assessment/Special-Education-Services/Pages/Sample-Special-Education-Forms.aspx
the Organized Teaching website is great place to find lists of different accommodations broken down into categories such as, presentation, response, timing, and setting. I already find it useful, and I'm not even in the classroom yet! http://organizedteaching.com/the_organized_sp_ed_teacher/accommodations_modifications.html
