Abstract
In the final chapter of this book, on overview of a case study examining the Fidelity of Implementation of Assessment (FOI-A) for the Battelle Developmental Inventory—Second Edition (BDI-2) across one New England state is presented. Frameworks for understanding and improving the quality of assessment practices in early childhood special education, with an emphasis on Early Intervention, are provided. Led by the findings of this research study, the authors reflect on this work and its implications for improving educational outcomes for children and their families. Approaches to education and training that can support high-quality assessment practices for young children are discussed for both preservice and inservice professionals. The authors reflect on the use of checklists and observation protocols to support implementation of assessments. Based on the research, key practices to improve FOI-A are presented. In order to increase the amount of scientifically based understandings about FOI-A, recommendations for future research on this topic are shared. The chapter concludes with future research directions.
