focused.
Tier 2 level of support - CORRECT ANSWERS---Targeted--
Small group intervention provided to students in addition to tier 1 support ( Targeted
areas of need)
,Tier 1 level of support - CORRECT ANSWERS---Core--
Whole class instruction using evidence-based general education strategies
What is one function of the home language survey for language students - CORRECT
ANSWERS-Determines the potential need for a language assistance program
Once students are ID'd as potential EL's what is the process? - CORRECT ANSWERS-

What curriculum adjustment will help students who are bored in class? - CORRECT
ANSWERS-Adjust assignments to include student interest
What is a student able to do in Early Production? - CORRECT ANSWERS-Basic vocab
Know up to 1000 words
What differentiation method is a teacher using when offering reading materials at
different reading levels to students? - CORRECT ANSWERS-Content
What is a student able to do in the preproduction stage? - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Practice pronouncing words
Basic vocab
Know up to 500 words
Stages of Second Language Acquisition - CORRECT ANSWERS-1. Preproduction
2. Early Production
3. Speech Emergence
4. Intermediate Fluency
5. Advanced Fluency
Explicit Instruction - CORRECT ANSWERS-An instructional strategy that emphasizes
group instruction. The instruction offered should include a great deal of teacher-student
interactivity.
The teacher models the behaviors taught
Explicit instruction and implicit instruction - CORRECT ANSWERS-Two distinct
methods of providing instruction to diverse students and these are used for various
student groups depending on the functioning level and the subject area
, Systematic Instruction - CORRECT ANSWERS-A carefully planned sequence for
instruction, similar to a builder's blueprint for a house. A blueprint is carefully thought out
and designed before building materials are gathered and construction begins. The plan
for instruction that is systematic is carefully thought out, strategic, and designed before
activities and lessons are planned. Instruction is across the five components (phonemic
awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension). For systematic
instruction, lessons build on previously taught information, from simple to complex.
3 characteristics of systematic instruction - CORRECT ANSWERS-Goal based
Supported and scaffolded
Logically sequenced
Progress Monitoring - CORRECT ANSWERS-Tests that keep the teacher informed
about the child's progress in learning to read during the school year. They are a quick
sample of critical reading skills that will tell the teacher if the child is making adequate
progress toward grade level reading ability at the end of the year.
Curriculum Based Measurement - CORRECT ANSWERS-Used to measure the growth
of student's proficiency in the core skills that contribute to success in school
Differentiated Instruction - CORRECT ANSWERS-Practice of individualizing
instructional methods, and possibly also individualizing specific content and instructional
goals, to align with each student's existing knowledge, skills, and needs.
Differentiated assessment - CORRECT ANSWERS-Allows more accurate
measurement of what students know, it can provide valuable information about learning
profiles and preferences.
Speech Emergence - CORRECT ANSWERS-Continues gaining vocabulary,
communicates using words with high semantic context, nouns, verbs, and adjectives,
understands more than they can communicate, more effectively in face-to-face
interactions.
knows up to 3000 words
Co-teaching - CORRECT ANSWERS-In co-teaching arrangements, two or more
teachers teach together in the same classroom where students benefit from each
teacher's specialty (e.g., a regular and a special education teacher working with regular
students and students with a specific disability such as hearing impairments).
Acculturation - CORRECT ANSWERS-The adoption of cultural traits, such as language,
by one group under the influence of another.
Retention - CORRECT ANSWERS-Refers to the ability to keep aspects of ones culture,
while adjusting to a new culture
