50)
1. What does the acronym DAEP stand for in the context of alternative
education?
A) District Academic Enrichment Program
B) Disciplinary Alternative Education Program
C) Developmental Academic Evaluation Protocol
D) Direct Assessment of Educational Progress
Answer: B
Rationale: DAEP stands for Disciplinary Alternative Education Program, a
placement for students who have violated the student code of conduct.
Options A, C, and D are incorrect acronyms.
2. According to Texas law, a student can be placed in a DAEP for engaging in
which of the following?
A) Consistently achieving below a "C" average
B) Intentionally disrupting the conduct of classes
,C) Requesting a transfer to a different school
D) Participating in a school-sponsored extracurricular activity
Answer: B
Rationale: The law allows for DAEP placement if a student "intentionally
disrupt[s] the conduct of classes or other school activities". Academic
performance, transfers, or extracurricular participation are not grounds for
DAEP placement.
3. The primary goal of a DAEP is to:
A) Permanently exclude students from the traditional school system
B) Provide academic instruction and behavioral intervention to reintegrate
students
C) Serve as a long-term placement for all students with IEPs
D) Focus exclusively on vocational training
Answer: B
Rationale: The primary goal is to provide instruction and intervention with
the aim of successfully reintegrating students into their home campuses.
4. A student placed in a DAEP must have their academic and placement status
reviewed at intervals not to exceed:
A) 30 days
B) 60 days
C) 90 days
D) 120 days
Answer: D
Rationale: Regulations require a review of the student's status, including
academic status, at intervals not to exceed 120 days.
,5. Which of the following is NOT a typical characteristic of a DAEP classroom
environment?
A) Structured and focused setting with minimal distractions
B) High staff-to-student ratios for individualized support
C) A focus on developing social-emotional skills
D) An unstructured, self-paced, non-supervised learning model
Answer: D
Rationale: DAEPs are designed to provide a structured and focused learning
environment. An unstructured, non-supervised model would contradict this
core principle.
6. A student who has been removed from their regular classroom and placed
in a DAEP has the right to:
A) Continue receiving instruction in all core academic subjects
B) Waive all physical education requirements
C) Demand immediate return to their home campus
D) Choose their own teachers
Answer: A
Rationale: DAEPs must provide for students' core academic courses. Students
do not have the right to waive requirements or demand an immediate return.
7. The "least restrictive environment" (LRE) principle, as it applies to DAEP,
means that:
A) All students must be placed in the most restrictive setting possible
B) Students should be removed from the general education setting only when
necessary and for the shortest appropriate duration
, C) Restrictive environments are always preferred for at-risk students
D) LRE does not apply to alternative education settings
Answer: B
Rationale: The LRE principal mandates that students with disabilities (and by
extension, all students) should be educated in the setting that is least
restrictive to their learning, meaning removal from the general setting should
be a last resort.
8. Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a teacher in
a DAEP classroom:
A) Can discuss a student's behavioral record with any parent in the school
B) Must maintain the confidentiality of student education records
C) Is not required to protect student privacy
D) Can post student grades publicly with full names
Answer: B
Rationale: FERPA is a federal law that protects the privacy of student
education records. Teachers must maintain confidentiality.
9. A "functional behavior assessment" (FBA) is conducted to:
A) Determine a student's IQ score
B) Identify the purpose or function of a student's challenging behavior
C) Assign a student to a specific career track
D) Evaluate a teacher's performance
Answer: B
Rationale: An FBA is a process for identifying the reasons (functions) behind a
student's behavior to develop effective interventions.
