A focus of this concentration is on Curriculum Based Assessment and the implications it holds for teachers making curricular decisions. In addition, upon completion of the certification requirements, students will be certified to administer standardized tests including the WISC, WIAT, WJ-COG, WJ-ACH, KTEA, KABC, Stanford Binet and various other individual measurements.

This is a certification program, not a Graduate Academic Certificate.  The application procedures for students seeking certification only are the same as for students seeking MEd with certification.
