Abstract
Teacher judgments of student need for compensatory education (CE) agree moderately with scores on the CTBS. If a CTBS “cutting score” at the 35th percentile is adopted, a near-maximum agreement rate (for about three-fourths of the students) is obtained. The accuracy of teacher judgments is not influenced by the racial/ethnic or economic characteristics of the students, extent of individualization of instruction, how students are selected for compensatory services, or teacher's training and experience.
