A teacher decides to use an informal assessment created by another teacher. The assessment is not associated with the current curriculum. Which problem would this teacher encounter if this assessment is used to establish and then measure IEP goals for a student? A) The assessment may not align with the specific needs and learning objectives outlined in the student's Individualized Education Program (IEP), making it difficult to accurately monitor the student's progress towards their goals.
B) The assessment may lack reliability and validity, casting doubt on the accuracy and fairness of the data collected for measuring the student's growth and performance over time.
C) The assessment may overlook critical areas of skill development or fail to address the unique challenges and accommodations required by the student, leading to inappropriate goal-setting and ineffective intervention strategies.
D) The assessment may not provide meaningful insights into the student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles, hindering the teacher's ability to make informed decisions about instructional planning and support services.
