Module 2 Case Study

A new fifth grade girl, who is 10 years, 6 months old, has moved into your district this year. She has been in school for about 6 weeks and the classroom teacher has observed and reported to you the following:

Has trouble following directions

· Difficulty with reading decoding and comprehension

· Slightly below average in math but seems to understand mathematical functions and principles

· Is able to write a small paragraph with about 10 simple sentences

· Complies with social rules during class

· Seems to be developing appropriate friendships and the other children seem to like her

Her folder from the previous school just arrived and has been passed on to you to interpret the following scores from the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement-II which had been administered the previous spring. The student was being evaluated for special education but this was not completed due to the family move.

For the chart below  fill in the column with an estimated percentile rank. (Use the chart in the PowerPoint to help you get close and the stand ppt on standard scores and percentiles). Then please  write a narrative that describes the student’s academic functioning. The focus of the narrative should answer the question: “How does the student compare to typically achieving peers?” Write the narrative in a way that a parent could understand and use statistical language.  Conclude the narrative with some recommendations to help the student progress.
