Achievement tests are used to make high-stakes (e.g., special education placement) decisions, and previous research on norm-referenced assessment suggests that errors are ubiquitous. In our study of 42 teacher trainees, utilizing five of the six core subtests of the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement, Third Edition (KTEA-3), we found that…

Pace Miles, Katharine; Fletcher, Andrew – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2023
This article details a large-scale tutor-to-teacher pipeline created in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The program addressed two vital needs: 1) improving outcomes for striving readers in high-needs communities, and 2) improving teacher training in both evidence- and research-based instruction. Across school year (SY) 2020-2021 and 2021-2022,…

Guo, Ling-Yu; Schneider, Phyllis; Harrison, William – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2021
Purpose: This study provided reference data and examined psychometric properties for clausal density (CD; i.e., number of clauses per utterance) in children between ages 4 and 9 years from the database of the Edmonton Narrative Norms Instrument (ENNI). Method: Participants in the ENNI database included 300 children with typical language (TL) and…

Lee, Jihyun; Chang, Seung Ho; Jolin, Jerred – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
The motor and social skill difficulties experienced by many children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can create challenges when participating in age appropriate physical activity contexts. Although behavioral interventions can increase the general social communicative skills of children with ASD, often the skills targeted are not relevant to…

Nathan Gavigan; Sarahjane Belton; Una Britton; Shane Dalton; Johann Issartel – European Physical Education Review, 2024
Although there is a plethora of tools available to assess children's movement competence (MC), the literature suggests that many have significant limitations (e.g. not being practical for use in many 'real-world' settings). The FMS[superscript 2] assessment tool has recently been developed as a targeted solution to many of the existing barriers…

Stribing, Alexandra; Pennell, Adam; Gilbert, Emily N.; Lieberman, Lauren J.; Brian, Ali – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
Individuals with visual impairments (VI) trend toward lower motor competence when compared with peers without VI. Various forms of perception often affects motor competence. Thus, it is important to explore factors that influence forms of perception and their differential effects on motor competence for those with VI. Therefore, the purposes of…
