Grounded in Prairie practicality, guided by research, built for clinical excellence.
A concept-first introduction to academic achievement assessment — what it is, how to plan it, and how to interpret achievement data defensibly — anchored on the WIAT-4 as the tool participants learn hands-on, while acknowledging that other academic measures (e.g., KTEA, Woodcock-Johnson) exist and the concepts transfer. Day 1 teaches WIAT-4 administration; Day 2 covers scoring, interpretation (composites vs subtests, measurement error and base rates, avoiding “low score = diagnosis”), and starting the write-up.
Note — Cognitive assessment runs as a three-part track: the concept-first Cognitive Assessment Foundations short course (~3 hr), then the two 2-day WISC-V intensives (administration; interpretation & report writing) — all following the general Foundations of Formal Assessment short course. Academic assessment remains the single 2-day WIAT-4 course.
This training is foundational and is intended to support — not replace — supervised practice. Participants are responsible for working within their professional role, graduate preparation, supervision requirements, test-publisher qualification levels (A/B/C), and provincial regulatory standards. Completion does not by itself establish competence or authorization to administer or interpret any test.
