Description

---

Contains all the visual stimuli needed to administer the items.

This stimulus book is part of NSS(TM), a quick, reliable, and affordable way to screen early numerical competencies in Grades K-1 and identify students at risk for later math struggles. A research-based tool that requires no extra training, Number Sense Screener(TM) (NSS(TM)) K-1 gives schools the critical information needed to catch at-risk students early, predict mathematic achievement through at least third grade, start planning targeted interventions, and monitor progress. NSS supports progress toward national and state standards, including Common Core State Standards in Kindergarten and NCTM Standards and Focal Points.

Dr. Jordan holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Iowa, where she was awarded Phi Beta Kappa, and a master's degree from Northwestern University. She received her doctoral degree in education from Harvard University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago. Before beginning her doctoral studies, she taught elementary school children with special needs. Dr. Jordan served on the Committee on Early Childhood Mathematics of the National Research Council of the National Academies. Joseph J. Glutting, Ph.D., is a professor in the School of Education at the University of Delaware. He is a quantitative psychologist. Dr. Glutting specializes in applied multivariate statistics and test construction. He developed four nationally standardized measures of intelligence, occupational interest, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Dr. Glutting's research has been supported by the Institute of Education Sciences and the National Institutes of Health. He has published more than 100 juried journal articles and book chapters. Nancy Dyson has been in education for more than 30 years as both a teacher and the director of a parent cooperative school. She recently completed her doctoral degree in education at the University of Delaware with a research focus on students struggling with mathematics.
