◍ Vygotsky's Social Approach to Language Development.
Answer: Language develops through social interactions.
◍ Vygotsky's Theory of Cognitive Development.

◍ Council Rock (2012).
Answer: Weak interventions may violate IDEA requirements
◍ Quantitative Data.
Answer: Numeric, measurable data used to track trends over time; great for
graphs and progress monitoring (e.g., test scores, CBM fluency rates)
◍ Performance Level.
Answer: Student's current level of achievement (e.g., reads 65 WCPM)
◍ ESSA.
Answer: Requires use of evidence-based practices for all students
◍ Direct Instruction.
Answer: Teacher-directed curriculum specifically designed to address the
learning needs of underprivileged students.
◍ Outcome Measures.
Answer: Assess overall performance (e.g., benchmark reading test)
◍ Physical Development Barriers.
Answer: Motor delays, or difficulty hearing or seeing, physical conditions
such as nutrition, poverty, and homelessness.
◍ More Knowledgeable Other (MKO).
Answer: Someone who has a better understanding or a higher ability level
than the learner.
◍ Rate of Growth.
Answer: Speed of student improvement (e.g., +1.5 WCPM per week)
◍ Family Input.
Answer: Provides context that data alone cannot explain (e.g., sleep issues)
, ◍ Operant Conditioning.
Answer: Children learn language based on reinforcement.
◍ Mixed Data Sources.
Answer: Combining CBM, observations, and notes for a holistic view
◍ Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
Answer: Popular motivational theory proposed by Abraham Maslow in
1943.
◍ Mastery Measures.
Answer: Assess specific skills at a point in time (e.g., fractions quiz)
◍ Brain Injury Implications.
Answer: Personality and mood changes, mental health difficulties, visual or
memory impairments, attention difficulties, headaches.
◍ Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence.
Answer: Ability to analyze info and produce work that involves oral and
written language.
◍ Tier 2 (MTSS).
Answer: Targeted small-group interventions (e.g., reading intervention
group)
◍ Criterion-Referenced Assessments.
Answer: Measure mastery of standards at a specific point in time (e.g.,
fractions test)
◍ Chomsky's Theory of Language Development.
Answer: Chomsky's theory holds that children learn to use language because
of an innate capacity for language and communication; they do not need to
be explicitly taught but, rather, pick it up instinctively
◍ 4-Point Method.
Answer: Decision rule comparing 4 data points to goal line; if 3 of 4 points
fall below, adjust instruction
