2. 504 Plan - ANS-Hannah is a student with a severe peanut allergy. She requires an
EpiPen be available at all times during her school day in the event she has an allergic
reaction. In order for Hannah to be safe navigating her school day, her environment must
be nut-free.
3. A common learning challenge associated with a learning disability that makes it difficult
to complete math tasks, such as addition, subtraction, and division is ______________ -
ANS-dyscalculia
4. A high school special education student diagnosed with autism received special
education services and related support for social pragmatic (social skills) therapy from a
speech-language pathologist. The student requires some academic support, primarily in
written expression and task management, which happens within the general education
environment in a co-taught English class with an English teacher and an assigned
special education teacher. The student also receives speech-language therapy twice per
week. This student's time out of the general education environment is minimal. What
type of educational placement would this student receive, given the needs and the
supports and services received? - ANS-Modified general education class
5. A new student from Haiti is joining your classroom in two weeks. You have no other
students from Haiti in your classroom and want to make this student feel comfortable,
safe, and welcome. What are three steps you could take to prepare for this student's
arrival and foster a welcoming environment with your students? - ANS-Any combination
of the following:

7. Research country of origin
8.
9. Explore cultural and religious traditions
10.
11. Read about the DOs and DON'Ts of social behavior and communication practices of his

14. A student in your fourth-grade classroom has a very difficult time writing. The student is
slow to formulate letters and often writes the letters in an unusual way. The student's
ability to answer questions orally is outstanding. In class, a teacher's assistant often acts
, as a scribe. Which type of learning disability does this student display characteristics of?
- ANS-Dysgraphia
15. A student, teacher, administrator, or parent can bring forth that a student may be gifted
and talented. - ANS-nomination and idenitfication
16. Acculturation - ANS-Sara's family has lived in Germany due to her parents' jobs. They
have relocated to the United States, and Sara is placed in seventh grade. Sara will need
to not just learn the academics in her seventh-grade classes but learn English and the
culture of the school and the United States. What is the process called that Sara is
involved in?
17. Advanced fluency - ANS-Near native comprehension and communication.
18. Alternative co-teaching - ANS-Two co-teachers were planning a science-based lesson.
The lesson itself had a dense instructional period introducing new terms and concepts,
which was then followed by a lab. The terminology was critical to understand in order to
be successful with the lab portion of the class. The class had five English learners (ELs)
who would need more targeted support to understand the terminology and break down
the meaning. What type of co-teaching model would best be used in this scenario?
19. alternative teaching - ANS-Two teachers were reviewing data from a co-taught lesson
earlier in the day. They realized a few students struggled with understanding some of the
concepts as evidenced on the "exit assessment" they took at the end of the lesson. Both
teachers felt it would be important for the handful of students to review the content and
solidify critical concepts.
20. Autism - ANS-Mateo is a kindergarten student with a lot of energy. His favorite activities
are sensory-based. He enjoys playing alone in the sand at recess. Mateo repeatedly
grabs a handful of sand and watches it sift through his fingers. When he is excited, he
spins in circles. Mateo has a difficult time transitioning to new activities and becomes
agitated when his routine is changed.
21. Boredom, perfectionism, and sensitivity are three common challenges facing gifted and
talented students. Describe how each common challenge may present in terms of
behavior in the classroom setting: - ANS-Boredom—students who are gifted and
talented may question the relevancy of curriculum and show disinterest when they do not
feel challenged by activities that meet their level of need. This may result in failing to
complete assignments and feeling as though they know enough about the topic.
22. Perfectionism—students may feel they have no room for error due to their gifted and
talented nature, causing them to engage in perfectionism or feelings of failure when they
are challenged.
23. Sensitivity—students may experience outbursts or withdrawal, prefer to work alone, and
be highly affected by the attitudes and perceptions of others.
24. Build students' background knowledge. - ANS-A fifth-grade teacher entered the school
year with a diverse population of students speaking five different languages. Many of the
students' cultures vary significantly in terms of customs, practices, religions, and more.
Entering the first science lesson of the year, the teacher was unsure about what
information students knew about the vocabulary and concepts outlined in the lesson.
Which instructional strategy should this teacher use to begin the lesson and create an
