 * CEC Standard 4: Assessment**

**Standard**
4.0 Beginning special education professionals use multiple methods of assessment and data-sources in making educational decisions.

I understand as a future special education teacher that there are different types of assessments including formal, informal and standardized. It is important to used all different type of assessment when we want to obtain present levels of performance. When we used different types of assessments we get a better understanding of where the student present levels are. We can then create better and measurable goals when we minimize the bias by just using just one type of assessment. Assessment is not only important for obtaining the present levels of performance but also to monitor the student progress. I created an IEP that shows different assessments were used to obtain the present levels of performance of the student.
