Main Idea or Research Questions:
This research study establishes a baseline for teachers and administrators’ assessment practices for students with learning disabilities in Lebanese private schools. It also sheds light on the current practices of “assessment for learning”, a much-needed approach in special education. The CIPP (context, input, process, and product) research questions were: Context evaluation: In what kind of educational setting do assessment practices take place? Input evaluation: How prepared and involved are teachers and administrators in student assessment? Process evaluation: How are assessments applied in the classroom? Product evaluation: What impact do assessment practices have?
