This session provides an intensive, hands-on exploration of the Woodcock-Johnson V (WJ-V), focusing on the core batteries for Cognitive Abilities and Achievement. As the field transitions to this latest iteration, educational diagnosticians and school psychologists will gain the technical proficiency and interpretive confidence needed to maintain assessment integrity.
Participants will dive into the structural shifts and psychometric enhancements of the WJ-V. The training bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application through the following modules:
- Battery Overview: Identifying the primary differences between the WJ IV and WJ-V, including new subtests and refined basal/ceiling rules.
- Administration Best Practices: A step-by-step walkthrough of standardized administration procedures to ensure valid scores across diverse student populations.
- Scoring & Interpretation: Utilizing the digital platform for precise scoring and learning how to synthesize cognitive and achievement data to identify strengths and weaknesses
