Wechsler Individual Achievement Test - III (WIAT-III)

Wake County Schools is sponsoring a full-day WIAT-III training on Thursday, June 24th. Gail Rodin Ph.D. will spend the first two hours reviewing what's new with the test, then spend the remainder of the day on scoring of the Written Expression subtests, primarily Essay Composition. Dr. Rodin is an Assessment Consultant for the Clinical Assessment division of the WIAT-III's publisher, Pearson, Inc.

The training is free and is open to anyone who'd like to attend. If you plan to go, please just notify Marc Giandenoto (919-858-3224; mgiandenoto@wcpss.net) in WCPSS.

Posted here is a copy of the Quick Score Guide we developed for Essay Composition, which most folks find easier to use than the Scoring Guide in the software.Quick Score Guide to the WIAT-III
