Which of the following information sources would be most useful in helping a school for an
initial evaluation for special ed services:
A.) Notes from the school building leader's observation of a student during math instruction to
support the referral
B.) Standardized test results showing a severe discrepancy bt student's achievement and
intellectual abilities
C.) An affidavit from student's teacher documenting professional opinion that RTI services are
not adequately meeting student needs
D.) Data from multiple sources supporting the likelihood that student's underachievement is not
due to lack of appropriate scaffolded instruction ✔Correct Answer-D.) Research has shown
that the use of targeted interventions prior to formal special education referral can positively
affect the success of children in school as well as prevent inappropriate referrals to special
education. Therefore, before formally referring a student for evaluation, it is important for the
teacher to implement specific interventions to address student learning needs and gather data
about student performance from various sources to ensure that every effort has been made to
provide effective and appropriate instruction
The parents of a middle school student believe that their child's educational records contain an
inaccurate report of their child's involvement in an incident where a small group of students
behaved inappropriately during a school field trip. The school denied the parents' initial request
to amend the report, and a formal hearing upheld the school's decision. At this point, the
parents have the legal right to
A.) Present objections to the school's report of the incident to a court-appointed mediator
B.) Place a statement in their child's records, stating their disagreement with the school's report
C.) Examine the records of the other students who were involved in the incident
D.) Have their child's current records sealed and a new set of records created ✔Correct
Answer-B. According to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA),
parents/guardians or eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records
that they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record,
the parent/guardian parent or guardian or eligible student then has the right to a formal
hearing. After the hearing, if the school still does not decide to amend the record, the
, parent/guardian parent or guardian or eligible student has the right to place a statement in the
record setting forth his or her view about the contested information.
Teachers in an elementary school are creating take-home activity kits to reinforce students' in-
school learning. Activities are content-related and designed to be completed by students and
their parents/guardians. Materials for the activities are included and directions are provided in
the students' home languages whenever possible. The take-home activity kits are likely to be
most effective in achieving the desired outcome if the teachers emphasize which of the
following types of activities?
A.) Oral activities that require parents/guardians to listen as students recite important factual
information
B.) Written practice activities for students to complete with their parents'/guardians'
supervision
C.) Complex activities that students and parent/guardian complete together
D.) Hands-on activities that promote interaction between students and their parents/guardians
✔Correct Answer-D. Take-home activities that are hands-on promote students' engagement in
an activity because such activities help students become actively involved in learning.
Additionally, interaction between students and their parents/guardians about the task and their
learning helps students internalize the targeted knowledge and skills and enables
parents/guardians to extend their children's thinking by asking questions.
The pre-assessment data gathered by Ms. Snider most clearly suggests the need for continued
instruction in which skill in order for students to successfully achieve the objectives of the
planned lesson?
A. Counting by ones to 100
B. Skip counting by tens
C. One-to-one correspondence
D. Writing numbers to 20 ✔Correct Answer-C. To be able to determine whether a group of
objects has a greater or lesser number of objects than a second group, students must first be
able to count objects accurately. The pre-assessment data indicate that approximately half of
the students are still developing the skills of pairing each object with only one number name
when counting and the ability to answer how many questions about a set of objects, both of
which are connected to one-to-one correspondence
