Florida Alternative Assessment - Answer: a performance-based alternative
assessment of student mastery of Access Point
Disproportionality - Answer: students from certain racial/ethnic, low
socioeconomic status, non-majority linguistic backgrounds and English language
learners are overrepresented in special education programs
Test Bias - Answer: when certain groups consistently score differently from other
groups (e.g., females tend to score lower than males)
Curriculum-based measurement (CBM) - Answer: provides information about
student mastery of the general education curriculum
Summative Assessment - Answer: the process of evaluation student achievement
at the end of an instructional period (a quiz administrated by the teacher at the
end of an instructional unit, a student's report card, a "high stakes", state
achievement test administrated at the end of the school year.
Formative Assessment - Answer: assessments are "low stakes", their main
purpose is not to judge students performance but rather to monitor student
progress and identify ways that instruction can be improved overall or tailored to
specific students.

Response to Intervention (RTI) - Answer: The three levels of intensity, or tiers are
as in Tier 1 - at risk students receive additional instruction for several weeks; in
Tier 2 - students receive more intensive and longer-lasting interventions if they
have not responded to Tier 1; in Tier 3 - students receive more intensive,
individualized interventions if they have not responded to Tier 2
Sensorimotor stage - Answer: Piaget divided this stage into six substages: Reflexes
(0-1 month); Primary Circular Reactions (1-4 months); Secondary Circular
Reactions (4-8 months); Coordination of Reactions (8-12 months), Tertiary Circular
Reactions (12-18 months); Early Representational Thought (18-24 months)
Early Representational Thought - Answer: 18-24 months, children begin
representing things or events with symbols. A significant sensorimotor
development is object permanence, i.e., realizing things still exist when they are
out of sight.
0-1 month - Answer: Reflexes (sensorimotor stage) What age?
1-4 months - Answer: infants find accidental actions like thumb-sucking
pleasurable and then intentionally repeat them (Primary Circular Reactions of
sensorimotor stage) What age?
4-8 months - Answer: Secondary Circular Reactions (Sensorimotor stage): infants
intentionally repeat actions to evoke environmental effects. What age?

8-12 months - Answer: Coordination of Reactions (sensorimotor stage): children
repeat actions intentionally, comprehend cause and effect and combine schemas
(concepts). What age?
12-18 months - Answer: Tertiary Circular Reactions (sensorimotor stage): children
experiment with trial-and-error. What age?
18-24 months - Answer: Early Representational Thought (sensorimotor stage):
children begin representing things and events with symbols. A significant
development is Object Permanence, i.e., realizing that thing still exist when out of
sight. What age?
Early Representational Thought (sensorimotor stage): - Answer: 18-24 months
