Discussion: The Psychiatric Evaluation and Evidence-Based Rating Scales undefinedAssessment tools have two primary purposes: 1) to measure illness and diagnose clients, and 2) to measure a client’s response to treatment. Often, you will find that multiple assessment tools are designed to measure the same condition or response. Not all tools, however, are appropriate for use in all clinical situations. You must consider the strengths and weaknesses of each tool to select the appropriate assessment tool for your client. For this Discussion, as you examine the assessment tool assigned to you by the Course Instructor, consider its use in psychotherapy.

Effective teachers in all content areas use multiple approaches to integrate and create a balanced literacy curriculum for their students. Using a variety of literacy strategies can help ensure the teacher is meeting the needs of all students and creating an engaging learning experience. Observe and analyze the literature-based materials and resources used in your field experience classroom, including the resources on the classroom walls. Discuss with the mentor teacher how the literature in the classroom is incorporated into content lessons. Consider the following: Are there different types of literature (e.g., text books, professional journals, newspapers, novels) used in the classroom? Do the resources seem to effectively fit with the content area? Do the resources support learning in the classroom?
