NEWEST 2024
Which resource is provided by Section 504? - ANSWER ection 504 guarantees
students equal access and participation, and accommodations are often part of
providing such access.
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.
Flexible instruction and mixed-ability grouping are foundations of which type of
instruction? - ANSWER Differentiated instruction supports students of all abilities
by personalizing learning through flexible instruction.
Which type of co-teaching model divides a classroom into two groups to provide
instructional content simultaneously? - ANSWER Parallel teaching divides a
classroom into two groups where both instructors teach the content simultaneously.
A general education teacher and an EL teacher are co-teaching an English language
arts class in a diverse urban classroom. This particular class is taught in English.
During this lesson on note taking, the general educator provides the lecture while the
EL teacher walks the room answering questions and modeling when needed. Which
model of co-teaching are these two teachers using? - ANSWER In the one teach,
one assist model, one teacher provides whole group instruction while the other
circulates the room answering questions and modeling as needed.
Two general educators teach an interdisciplinary class combining history and art.
The art teacher is teaching the general lecture on this particular day while the history
teacher collects data on her counterpart's lecture clarity and student behavior. Which
model of co-teaching are these two teachers using? - ANSWER The one teach,
one observe co-teaching model strives to obtain data and feedback for the co-
teachers about the effectiveness of their lesson in general, as well as the response
students have to the instruction in terms of understanding and behaviors.
