Inclusive Classroom WGU D152 QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED ANSWERS
1. Strength Ans✓✓✓ How well the program works (if the program is strong, then
it will be more likely to produce good results, with fewer program adjustments
required)
16 elements of explicit instruction Ans✓✓✓ 1. Focus instruction on critical
content
2. Sequence skills logically
3. Break down complex skills and strategies into smaller instructional units
4. Design organized and focused lessons
5. Begin lessons with a clear statement of the lesson's goals and your expectations
6. Review prior skills and knowledge before beginning instruction
7. Provide step-by-step demonstrations
8. Use clear concise language
9. Provide an adequate range of examples and non-examples
10. Provide guided and supported practice
11. Require frequent responses
12. Monitor student performance closely
13. Provide immediate affirmative and corrective feedback
14. Deliver the lesson at a brisk pace
15. Help students organize knowledge
16. Provide distributed and cumulative practice
,2. Dosage Ans✓✓✓ The number of opportunities a student has to respond to and
receive corrective feedback/the intervention (can include the size of the
instructional group, the number of minutes each session lasts, and the number of
sessions provided per week)
3. Alignment Ans✓✓✓ how well the program addresses the student's needs,
does not address skills the student has already mastered, and incorporates a
focus on grade-level standards (creates efficiency and maximizing alignment also
increases intensity)
4 key components of explicit instruction Ans✓✓✓ 1. use logical sequence within
lessons
2. provide clear models and explanation
3. provide multiple opportunities to respond and use appropriate feedback.
4. provide a range of examples and non-examples to highlight content being
taught
4. Attention to transfer Ans✓✓✓ the extent to which an intervention is designed
to transfer skills to other formats and/or contexts and realize connections
between mastered and related skills (transfer is often a major obstacle for
students with learning problems and research shows the benefits of explicit
transfer instruction.
5. Comprehensiveness Ans✓✓✓ the number of explicit instruction principles the
intervention incorporates ( explicit instruction promotes better learning among
students receiving the intensive intervention and these principles include;
providing an explanation in simple, direct, language, modeling efficient strategies,
ensuring students have the necessary background knowledge and skills to
succeed with those strategies, gradually fading support for students correct
execution of those strategies, providing practice so students use the strategies to
, generate many correct responses, and incorporating systematic cumulative
review
6. Behavioral Support Ans✓✓✓ The extent to which a program incorporates self-
regulation and executive function components and behavioral principles to
minimize nonproductive behavior (these behaviors can impact learning and this
focus can help build and support a strong non-cognitive academic mindset).
7 Dimensions of the Taxonomy of Intervention Intensity Ans✓✓✓ 1. Strength
2. Dosage
3. Alignment
4. Attention to transfer
5. Comprehensiveness
6. Behavioral support
7. Individualization
7. Individualization Ans✓✓✓ how well the intensive intervention is adjusted over
time to address the student's learning needs (data-based individualization is
applied to determine if the intensive intervention is producing adequate
responses for the target student; if student; if the student is not on track to meet
their goal, the teacher will adjust the program).
8 Features of effective progress monitoring according to Mellard and Johnson
Ans✓✓✓ 1. Conducted in all tiers of instruction
2. Measures are based on and directly relevant to the curriculum, as well as the
grade level and tier level of RTI.
3. In order to facilitate data collection, measures must be easy to administer and
effective.
