Cognitive Assessment for Multilingual Learners – Young Learners CAML-YL
The CAML assessment kits (both CAML+ and CAMLyoung learners) consist of a manual, a set of 10 coloured shapes for the visual memory tasks, and access to all the materials needed to run the assessments.
The manual contains step-by-step instructions on how to administer, mark and interpret the tasks. It also offers some advice about how to give feedback to the learner. The coloured shapes are made of durable perspex and come in a small coDon bag to keep them together.
The additional materials are available electronically and comprise:
1. assessment sheets for all the tasks, which can be printed off as oFen as needed (no need to keep buying more copies!)
2. a summary sheet where all the quantitative results and qualitative notes on performance can be collated for ease of comparison and interpretation
3. a template for a simple memo to be sent round to other members of staff with the findings of the assessment, and suggestions for accommodation
4. 7 videos offering more detailed information about the different aspects of the assessment
The Young Learners’ CAML has been developed specifically for learners between the ages of 7 and 15.
Features include:
• Colourful and engaging assessment materials
• Game-like tasks that children enjoy completing
• Full instructions of how to use the tasks and interpret the findings
• Holistic assessment of strengths and areas of challenge
• Generation of a comprehensive cognitive profile from which appropriate interventions can be devised, and exam arrangements applied for.
