Fundamentals of Diverse Learners-WGU
D096
What Is progress monitoring used for? - ANS Monitoring Academic and Behavior progress
What Age is progress monitoring usually used for? - ANS Elementary students. But it can be
conducted effectively at any age.
CBM (Curriculum Based Measurement) - ANS Includes instruments or probes.
Has a short sample from the curriculum.
Includes items from across the curriculum to provide a representative indicator of the students
skills.
It provides immediate info about how the student is mastering skills being taught at the moment.
What is the major difference between Tier 2 and 3 of support in MTSS - ANS Tier 3 provides
more instructional time but it also provides smaller groups.
Targets precise objectives at appropriate levels, systematic instruction, extensive opportunities
for practices, and increased error correction and feedback opportunities.
Tier 3 level of support - ANS --Intensive--
The most intensive level of support provided (in addition to tier 1).
This intervention is geared toward skill growth and acquisition much more narrowly focused.
Tier 2 level of support - ANS --Targeted--
Small group intervention provided to students in addition to tier 1 support ( Targeted areas of
need)
Tier 1 level of support - ANS --Core--
Whole class instruction using evidence-based general education strategies
What is one function of the home language survey for language students - ANS Determines the
potential need for a language assistance program
Once students are ID'd as potential EL's what is the process? - ANS They must be assessed
with a valid and reliable assessment to determine if they qualify for EL services
A teacher observes disruptive behavior among a number of students, what should she do? -
ANS Reduce long delays between activities to hold students attention
,What type of differentiation is address in an IEP where a student need to sit near the teacher in
the first or second row? - ANS Environment
What curriculum adjustment will help students who are bored in class? - ANS Adjust
assignments to include student interest
What is a student able to do in Early Production? - ANS Basic vocab
Know up to 1000 words
What differentiation method is a teacher using when offering reading materials at different
reading levels to students? - ANS Content
What is a student able to do in the preproduction stage? - ANS Practice pronouncing words
Basic vocab
Know up to 500 words
Stages of Second Language Acquisition - ANS 1. Preproduction
2. Early Production
3. Speech Emergence
4. Intermediate Fluency
5. Advanced Fluency
Explicit Instruction - ANS 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 - ANS 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 - ANS 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 - ANS Goal based
Supported and scaffolded
Logically sequenced
Progress Monitoring - ANS 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 - ANS Used to measure the growth of student's proficiency in
the core skills that contribute to success in school
Differentiated Instruction - ANS 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 - ANS Allows more accurate measurement of what students know, it
can provide valuable information about learning profiles and preferences.
Speech Emergence - ANS 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 - ANS 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 - ANS The adoption of cultural traits, such as language, by one group under the
influence of another.
Retention - ANS Refers to the ability to keep aspects of ones culture, while adjusting to a new
culture
The most common issue with implementing co-teaching effectively in school? - ANS Lack of
planning time
Team Teaching - ANS Teachers share the responsibility for two or more classes, dividing up the
subject areas between them.
Only 1 teacher speaks at a time
Collaborative teaching - ANS General Ed and Special Ed teachers working
together to meet the needs of special needs
students
Alternative co-teaching - ANS Allows a teacher to specifically target the terminology or concept,
before moving on to the next portion of class time, i.e. lab work
