D152 – WGU questions with verified answers
Define co-teaching Ans✓✓✓ Two teachers are present in the inclusive classroom
during instructional periods. This can be carried out several ways.
Define curriculum-based measurement (CBM) Ans✓✓✓ The tool that provides
educators a way to collect data regarding a student's progress on curriculum
areas and to make rational decisions about programs or students placement or
curriculum needs.
Define Data-based Individualization/Intervention (DBI) Ans✓✓✓ A research-
based process for individualizing and intensifying interventions through the
systematic use of assessment data, validated interventions, and research-based
adaptation strategies.
Define error analysis Ans✓✓✓ The process of reviewing error patterns to identify
a student's skill deficits. This can help a teacher determine what types of errors
were made and why.
Define explicit instruction Ans✓✓✓ A systematic, structured method for teaching
academic skills. It follows the steps of I do, we do, you do. It involves breaking
down a complex skill or concept into small chunks.
Define general outcome measurement (GOM) Ans✓✓✓ One of the two types of
progress monitoring, also referred to as curriculum-based measurement.
Assessment style that involves conducting a short test (referred to as a measure
or probe) on a regular basis to assess and track reading progress across the year.
These probes fall under two categories: the overall indicator approach or the
curricular sampling approach.
,Define generalization Ans✓✓✓ the ability to transfer previous learning to a real-
world or new situation.
Define Intensive intervention Ans✓✓✓ A tier three intervention that uses data to
systematically individualize intervention in reading, math, and spelling outcomes
for students with disabilities. It is designed to address severe and persistent
learning and/or behavior difficulties, including students who...
Are not making adequate progress
Are not meeting individual education program (IEP) goals
Have persistently low academic achievement
Have high intensity/ frequency behavior
Have not responded to evidence-based interventions delivered with fidelity
Define intervention intensity Ans✓✓✓ This instruction style addresses the needs
of the population of students for whom tier 1 and tier 2 are not adequate. One
model is to intensify tier 2 instruction, and another model is data-based
individualization (DBI).
Define Multi Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) Ans✓✓✓ Provides targeted
support to struggling students by screening all students with the aim of
addressing behavioral and academic issues early so students can catch up with
their peers.
Define PASS Ans✓✓✓ P - Prioritize instruction
A - Adapt instruction, materials, or the environment as needed
, S -Systematically teach with the SCREAM variables
S - Systematically evaluate the outcomes of your instructions
Define Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance
(PLAAFP) Ans✓✓✓ Accommodations to help with the regular education
curriculum.
i.e., word lists, audiobooks, extended time, preferential seating.
Define progress monitoring Ans✓✓✓ The process of collecting and analyzing
data over time to measure student performance and evaluate the effectiveness of
instruction. Involves a more frequent screening schedule than general screening
schedule based on individual student needs.
Define Response to Intervention (RTI) Ans✓✓✓ The assessment and intervention
approach in which students' ability to learn is evaluated by noting how well they
respond to instruction of varying degrees of intensity.
Define SCREAM Ans✓✓✓ S - structure: your lessons
C - clarity: promote clarity in presentations
R - redundancy: employ redundancy effectively
E - enthusiasm: teach with enthusiasm
