Developing a Formative Assessment for Special Education Teachers

Abstract

Administors were required to evaluate their teachers through two separate methods: an online survey and an interview. This was done to see if any discrepancies were found through the written or verbal examinations. After both evaluations were completed, the qualitative data was quantitatized and a score was created.
