,Question 1 of 132
In a Pre-K classroom designed to minimize challenging behaviors, which arrangement of learning
centers is most effective for reducing disruptions during transitions?
A. Placing high-activity centers (e.g., block area) near the entrance and quiet centers (e.g., reading nook) at the
back of the room.
B. Distributing noisy and quiet centers evenly throughout the classroom with clear pathways.
C. Clustering all centers along the perimeter to maximize open floor space for whole-group activities.
D. Separating centers by barriers such as low shelves and ensuring distinct boundaries between zones.
The correct answer is:
Correct Action: Separating centers by barriers such as low shelves and ensuring distinct boundaries
between zones.
Rationales
• Separating centers by barriers such as low shelves and ensuring distinct boundaries between zones. (Correct):
This is the correct action. Research indicates that clear physical boundaries (e.g., low shelves) reduce visual distractions
and help children focus, minimizing disruptive transitions. Option D aligns with this principle. Option A may cause
congestion near the entrance. Option B can lead to chaos without clear separation. Option C lacks defined zones, increasing

,Question 2 of 132
A Pre-K program implements a three-tiered prevention model. At Tier 2, which intervention is most
appropriate for children who exhibit mild behavioral challenges not responsive to universal
strategies?
A. Individualized behavior intervention plan (BIP) with functional behavior assessment (FBA).
B. Small-group social skills training using a validated curriculum twice weekly.
C. Daily check-in/check-out with a mentor for 5 minutes each morning.
D. Referral for a special education evaluation under IDEA.
The correct answer is:
Correct Action: Small-group social skills training using a validated curriculum twice weekly.
Rationales
• Small-group social skills training using a validated curriculum twice weekly. (Correct):
This is the correct action. Tier 2 involves targeted, small-group interventions for at-risk children. Small-group social skills
training is a standard Tier 2 strategy. Option A (BIP/FBA) is Tier 3. Option C (check-in/check-out) is also Tier 2 but less
common in Pre-K due to developmental appropriateness; however, option B is more evidence-based for this age. Option D
• Individualized behavior intervention plan (BIP) with functional behavior assessment (FBA). (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Small-group social skills training is a standard Tier 2 strategy. Option A (BIP/FBA) is Tier 3
• Daily check-in/check-out with a mentor for 5 minutes each morning. (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Small-group social skills training is a standard Tier 2 strategy. Option A (BIP/FBA) is Tier 3

, Question 3 of 132
A teacher notices that a child frequently runs out of the classroom during free play. Using a
trauma-informed lens, what is the most critical initial step in addressing this behavior?
A. Implement a token economy to reinforce staying in the classroom.
B. Collaborate with the family to understand potential triggers and the child's history.
C. Remove preferred activities when the child elopes.
D. Place the child nearest to the teacher during all activities.
The correct answer is:
Correct Action: Collaborate with the family to understand potential triggers and the child's history.
Rationales
• Collaborate with the family to understand potential triggers and the child's history. (Correct):
This is the correct action. Trauma-informed care prioritizes understanding the root cause of behavior, especially potential
triggers. Collaboration with family provides insight into whether elopement is a trauma response. Option A may not
address underlying causes; option C can retraumatize; option D is overly controlling and may increase anxiety.
• Implement a token economy to reinforce staying in the classroom. (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Collaboration with family provides insight into whether elopement is a trauma response.
Option A may not address underlying causes; option C can retraumatize; option D is overly controlling and may increase
anxiety
