As special education teachers, we understand the importance of providing individualized instruction to our students. One powerful tool that can help us tailor our teaching to meet their specific needs is the use of a baseline assessment. These assessments serve as a starting point to understand students’ current abilities and guide our instructional planning. In this blog post, we will explore the significance of assessments and how they can be effectively used to individualize instruction. We will also highlight a valuable resource, the Kindergarten Basic Skills Special Education Assessment available on Teachers Pay Teachers.
