emotional outbursts when tasks become challenging. The student often refuses
to begin work, argues with peers, and may escalate to yelling or leaving the room
when redirected. Academically, the student shows average ability but
inconsistent performance due to these behaviors. The teacher reports that
interventions such as check-in/check-out, scheduled breaks, and a calm-down
routine have been used consistently, but the behaviors continue to significantly
interfere with learning. Based on this information, which IDEA eligibility category
is most appropriate for further evaluation?

as sentence starters and graphic organizers.
8. At the beginning of Mr. Chen's science class, students take a short quiz on key
concepts from the previous lesson to strengthen memory and understanding.
Which strategy is being used?
A. Retrieval practice
B. Modification
C. Response accommodation
D. Transition planning
Correct Answer:
A. Retrieval practice
Rationale:
