Please join us on January 23, 2015 in Greenville, SC as Gail Rodin trains us on the new WISC as well as the new KTEA.
Title: Welcome to WISC-V!
Presenter: Gail C. Rodin, Ph.D. (Assessment Consultant, Pearson Clinical Assessment)
Suggested Length: 3 hours
Abstract: This session will provide an introduction to the newly-published WISC-V. We will look at changes from WISC-IV to WISC-V and the reasons behind them, then review what’s new and different, including a 5-index-score factor structure, new composite scores, and many new subtests. We will discuss interpretation and provide a framework for analyzing score profiles. Participants will leave the session prepared to administer, score, and interpret the new measure.
- 1. List 3 changes from WISC-IV to WISC-V.
- 2. Give 2 reasons why a 5-factor structure was chosen for reporting WISC-V scores.
- 3. List 2 new composite scores and 3 new subtest scores for WISC-V.
- 4. Given a score profile, demonstrate the ability to interpret cognitive strengths and weaknesses and use these to make recommendations for intervention.
Title: Introduction to KTEA-3
Presenter: Gail C. Rodin, Ph.D. (Assessment Consultant, Pearson Clinical Assessment)
Suggested Length: 2 – 3 hours
Abstract: This session will introduce participants to the new KTEA-3, published in June 2014, which now extends down to age 4:0 and includes Pre-K norms. We will review new subtests and composite scores, as well as key features including cross-domain composites and Growth Scale Value (GSV) scores to assess change over time. The workshop will conclude with a case study demonstrating use of KTEA-3 and WISC-V together to assess learning difficulties and make intervention recommendations.
Learning Objectives:
- 1. List 2 changes from KTEA-II to KTEA-3.
- 2. List 3 new subtests added to KTEA-3.
- 3. Understand how cross-domain composites can help with both the identification of learning disorders and design of targeted interventions.
- 4. Explain why Growth Scale Value (GSV) scores are better than standard scores or percentile ranks for measuring academic progress.
