Meisels, Samuel J.; Bickel, Donna DiPrima; Nicholson, Julie; Xue, Yange; Atkins-Burnett, Sally

Studied the validity of teacher judgments based on the Work Sampling System (WSS), a curriculum-embedded performance assessment for preschool to grade 5. Results for 345 K-3 students in 17 classrooms demonstrate that the WSS correlates well with a standardized, individually administered psychoeducational battery and is a reliable predictor of achievement ratings that can identify children at risk.
