Course Description:
This course enables educators to develop, increase and demonstrate knowledge and skills in identifying the purposes, legal and ethical principles, appropriate formal and informal instruments, and alternate strategies for the assessment and evaluation of students with disabilities. Course emphasis includes interpretation and application of assessment results.
The PDA courses, developed by the Florida Department of Education Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services, are included in the Professional Learning Catalog in all Florida school districts. If you are not currently employed in education in Florida, it is your responsibility, prior to starting the course, to contact your former school district or private school agency to determine if they are able to submit inservice credits to FDOE for you.
