⩥ What is one type of English language instruction program or model
for ELs?
Answer: Pullout instruction is a type of program model in which an
English language teacher works with ELs in small groups to provide
English language instruction, pulling them out of their regular classroom
to do so.
⩥ Fatima is an EL student in your general education classroom who is
having difficulty with reading, math, and social interaction. She has been
in pullout English language instruction classes in your school for two
years and has not made significant progress in that time. Your team has
tried interventions and support provided in both English and Fatima's
native language of Farsi, and the team is now considering whether to
recommend that Fatima be evaluated to see whether she has an
educational disability. If Fatima is found to have an educational
disability, which law(s) would apply?
Answer: Fatima will continue to be eligible for EL services under Title
III, and she will also be protected under IDEA and eligible for special
education services.
,⩥ As an EL, which accommodation should Fatima receive, whether she
is found to have an educational disability or not?
Answer: ELs are not initially required to take all the state proficiency
tests that native speakers of English are required to take, and their scores
may not count in the same way that the scores of native English speakers
count.
⩥ Which right would be guaranteed to Fatima under federal law if she is
found to have a disability?
Answer: FAPE is one of the foundational pillars of IDEA and applies to
all students eligible for special education services.
⩥ You are the teacher for a student with a disability who receives
services under IDEA and starts a fight after repeated other behavior
violations. The school is considering expulsion, which would result in
removal of the student to an alternative school. Why does IDEA require
the school to hold a manifestation determination hearing first?
Answer: It is unfair to punish a student with a disability for behavior that
may be caused by the disability, and a hearing will determine whether
this is the case. Expulsion is not appropriate if the behavior in question
is a manifestation of the student's disability; this would amount to
punishing the student for his or her disability.
⩥ Does having a medical diagnoses automatically qualify for special
education services under one of the 13 categories of disability listed in
IDEA?
, Answer: No. Having a medical diagnosis is different than having an
educational disability. Students who qualify for special education
services under one of the categories of disability listed in IDEA may or
may not have a medical diagnosis. However, all students who experience
an educational disability struggle to access the general curriculum
without appropriate supports and services.
⩥ PBIS is an example of which type of school-wide support framework?
Answer: It is an example of MTSS (multitiered systems of supports).
⩥ What is the most common educational disability under IDEA and is
characterized by difficulty reading, writing, listening, speaking, and
reasoning?
Answer: Specific learning disability (SLD) is the most common
disability type under IDEA and includes dyslexia, dysgraphia,
dyscalculia, auditory processing disorder, and nonverbal learning
disability. This disability impacts a student's ability to effectively read,
write, speak, reason, or do math.
⩥ What are effective strategies to prepare and support students through
transitions?
Answer: Visual reminders can support students in organizing their own
expectations about what they are doing now and what is to happen next.
A behavior chart helps student determine what behaviors are appropriate
and encourages them to display appropriate behavior. Coaching on what
behaviors are considered appropriate supports students in displaying
those behaviors more frequently.
