In previous modules, we have discussed IQ/Cognitive assessments and their relationship to qualifying for special education and other services. We will continue to discuss this topic as we move forward. I will at times review the definition of IQ and how it is applied along with cautions in the testing process itself. In preparation, read the article below regarding Intellectual Disabilities.
Read the article below on Potential Bias in IQ testing. Write a minimum 2 page reflection (400-600 words) due by February 18th.
- Note at least two concepts/information from the article that you may or may not have thought of before, and include how these potential biases in testing can be helpful for you to understand as an upcoming educator. You will learn more about potential biases as you move through the course.
