Your district should have prevocational and vocational skill task analyzed assessments and questionnaires available, if you are a SPED teacher.\n\nIf you are a pre-service (student) teacher, a parent, etc., try looking over these sites:\n\nhttp://www.nichcy.org/pubs/outprint/ts6.pdf\nhttp://www.khake.com/page3.html\nhttp://www.tsbvi.edu/publications/bs.htm\nhttp://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=K5HVEsK9V-wC&oi=fnd&pg=PP7&sig=yjS1CgL5X2lsQ9Q3pVkgn2Hdb1U&dq=%22Jonassen%22+%22Task+Analysis+Methods+for+Instructional+Design%22+&prev=http://scholar.google.com/scholar%3Fq%3Dauthor:%2522Jonassen%2522%2Bintitle:%2522Task%2BAnalysis%2BMethods%2Bfor%2BInstructional%2BDesign%2522%2B%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D

Ahhh the nightmare that is letters of application - I know it well!  I, too, have gone over mine a million times but am more than happy to share what I'm doing (not that I've had much success at the moment)!  \n\nI had a chat with my tutor and she said to organise it so you are demonstrating your priorities.  So mine starts with "Class Organisation" - where I've discussed my classroom ethos, the guidelines I set, and relationships I establish within the class.\n\nNext up for me is "Current policy", where I talk about government initiatives I think are relevant (I focus on Excellence and Enjoyment).  Then "Assessment" - progression of students and self-assessment mainly.  Followed by "School Relationships" - management styles, skill sharing, communication, etc.  Next up is "Use of Resources" (self-explanatory, lots of focus on ICT).  \n\nI then move on to "Subject Specialism" - what I teach best and an example.  Next is "Career Progression" - how I plan to improve.  And end with a section on my hobbies and interests and how I could include them in eg extracurricular activities.\n\nOne tutor recommended basically using the person specification for the headings, that way you can be sure you have included everything they've asked for.\n\nBest of luck.

I went through four years of pre-med and the best way I managed to do it was to use flash cards.  Maybe you can search Google for an online flash card program or something.  I maintained a 4.0 average using this method.  I also used it for two years of grad school in legal studies.  Good Luck.

Most vocational schools offer the TABE and NET test.  It has been about 8 years since I took it in Orlando and I paid $10 each for them.  Good luck!

I'm not sure exactly who you should go to, but you might try speaking with a local Department of Education Office of Civil Rights (link below).  They handle discrimination cases and that type of thing - if the school is denying your child services that he needs, then I'm pretty sure they can help you with this at no cost to you.  \n\nIf your child hasn't officially been diagnosed as special needs, however, the school is probably not obligated to offer extra services.  In any case, the teacher should be making modifications of her instruction to reach all students no matter what level they are performing at (research the term "differentiated instruction").\n\nOther possibilities (though I don't know much about using services from these entities so I may be wrong) might be a legal aid office or the attorney general's office.  \n\nI would highly recommend documenting every conversation you have had with teachers, administrators, etc., on this subject (you might even considering putting a voice recorder on your telephone, or carrying one with you when you speak in person - in most states this is legal as long as one person participating in the conversation is aware of it, but I'd recommend checking the laws for your state).  Also document the actions they've taken (firing the aide) and all the correspondence they send you (the letter about the teacher's credentials).  Documentation goes a long way in legal proceedings if your situation goes to that extreme - it will probably also give you some leverage at the IEP meeting if someone says something that you can disprove based on your detailed, accurate records. (Be sure to keep your records factual though, don't make assumptions about what you thought you saw or understood).\n\nI would also recommend going above the principal's head to the superintendent and asking to see a copy of the teacher's license/certification.  It should state whether or not the teacher has special ed credentials.\n\nBest of luck to you!

Skills that are assessed are more about self-help (are they starting to FEED themselves or go to the bathroom?), social/emotional (are they SHARING yet?), receptive/expressive language (can they follow directions?  Understand facial expressions and gestures?), cognitive, transitional, fine motor and gross motor skills.  These assessments are simple such as checking to see if a child can button their own clothes, work with other children, responds to adults using language, can hold a crayon, can run, walk and hop.  The assessments are for the use of preschool teachers to determine what skills need to be focused on in the classroom.  It also allows us to determine if the child might be at risk for learning or behavior disorders.\n\nTake a look at one of the checklist:\nhttp://members.aol.com/iepinfo/pre.htm\n\nTHESE IS A GREAT CHECKLIST FOR PARENTS!!!\n\nThe assessment are mainly to help us as teachers provide students with developmentally appropriate lessons and activities.  If an activity is too easy, a child does not learn.  Believe it or not~some kids need to learn to hold a fork, handle a crayon, run or catch a ball.  If children are only napping at preschool then you need to find another preschool.  Sometimes parents do not always see what teachers do with children such as teaching students how to behave at the table, open milk cartons, button their clothes (there is a lot of buttoning in preschool!), sorting, cutting and pasting (yes~this helps with fine motor) and so on.  Assessments are a GOOD thing~\nAgain, if no assessments are being done~find a new preschool~\n\nYou would really want a preschool teacher to do these assessments~that way you know they are making sure your child is learning~!

Talk to the counselor at your school or find a counselor or someone in your area who does educational testing.  They should be able to either do an aptitude test with you or refer you to one.  Most respected aptitude tests are "restricted" so they are not available on-line or to unqualified people.  You have to access them through a trained professional.\n\nOne of the most commonly used interest inventories is the Jackson vocational Interest Inventory.  Another very popular one is called the Self-Directed Search, which is available on line.  There are several versions of inventories you can do on-line when you pay for them. \n\nI hope this information helps you find what you need.

i would imagine most schools would be able to provide you with some sort of test along these lines... have you tried asking your local high school?

If you are attending college, even in high school, there are assessment tests available for you to help with your career choice.  There should also be career councilors to help you interpret the assessment.  The other thing to do is do your own personal assessment.  What do you want to do?  What kind of income do you want to make?  How many hours are you willing to put in each week?  What things interest you?  Do your own brainstorming as well.
