Point
Answer Florida Alternative Assessment
3. students from certain racial/ethnic, low socioeconomic status, non-majority
linguistic backgrounds and English language learners are overrepresented in special
education programs

4. when certain groups consistently score differently from other groups (e.g.,
females tend to score lower than males)
Answer Test Bias
5. provides information about student mastery of the general education cur-
riculum

,6. 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.
Answer Summative Assessment
7. 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.
Answer Formative Assessment
8. 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
Answer Response to Intervention (RTI)
9. 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)
Answer Sensorimotor stage
,10. 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.
Answer Early Representational Thought
11. Reflexes (sensorimotor stage) What age?
Answer 0-1 month
12. infants find accidental actions like thumb-sucking pleasurable and then
intentionally repeat them (Primary Circular Reactions of sensorimotor stage)
What age?
Answer 1-4 months
13. Secondary Circular Reactions (Sensorimotor stage)
infants intentionally re- peat actions to evoke environmental effects. What age?
Answer 4-8 months
14. Coordination of Reactions (sensorimotor stage)
children repeat actions in- tentionally, comprehend cause and effect and
combine schemas (concepts). What age?
Answer 8-12 months
15. Tertiary Circular Reactions (sensorimotor stage) children experiment
with trial-and-error. What age?
, Answer 12-18 months
16. Early Representational Thought (sensorimotor stage) children begin
repre- senting things and events with symbols. A significant development is
Object Permanence, i.e., realizing that thing still exist when out of sight. What
age?
