What is one type of English language instruction program or model for ELs?
Answer - Pullout instruction is a type of program model in which an English
language teacher works with ELs in small groups to provide English language
instruction, pulling them out of their regular classroom to do so.
Fatima is an EL student in your general education classroom who is having
difficulty with reading, math, and social interaction. She has been in pullout
English language instruction classes in your school for two years and has not
made significant progress in that time. Your team has tried interventions and
support provided in both English and Fatima's native language of Farsi, and the
team is now considering whether to recommend that Fatima be evaluated to
see whether she has an educational disability. If Fatima is found to have an
educational disability, which law(s) would apply? Answer - Fatima will continue
to be eligible for EL services under Title III, and she will also be protected under
IDEA and eligible for special education services.
As an EL, which accommodation should Fatima receive, whether she is found to
have an educational disability or not? Answer - ELs are not initially required to
take all the state proficiency tests that native speakers of English are required
to take, and their scores may not count in the same way that the scores of
native English speakers count.
,Which right would be guaranteed to Fatima under federal law if she is found to
have a disability? Answer - FAPE is one of the foundational pillars of IDEA and
applies to all students eligible for special education services.
You are the teacher for a student with a disability who receives services under
IDEA and starts a fight after repeated other behavior violations. The school is
considering expulsion, which would result in removal of the student to an
alternative school. Why does IDEA require the school to hold a manifestation
determination hearing first? Answer - It is unfair to punish a student with a
disability for behavior that may be caused by the disability, and a hearing will
determine whether this is the case. Expulsion is not appropriate if the behavior
in question is a manifestation of the student's disability; this would amount to
punishing the student for his or her disability.
Does having a medical diagnoses automatically qualify for special education
services under one of the 13 categories of disability listed in IDEA? Answer -
No. Having a medical diagnosis is different than having an educational
disability. Students who qualify for special education services under one of the
categories of disability listed in IDEA may or may not have a medical diagnosis.
However, all students who experience an educational disability struggle to
access the general curriculum without appropriate supports and services.
PBIS is an example of which type of school-wide support framework? Answer -
It is an example of MTSS (multitiered systems of supports).
What is the most common educational disability under IDEA and is
characterized by difficulty reading, writing, listening, speaking, and reasoning?
Answer - Specific learning disability (SLD) is the most common disability type
under IDEA and includes dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, auditory processing
disorder, and nonverbal learning disability. This disability impacts a student's
ability to effectively read, write, speak, reason, or do math.
, What are effective strategies to prepare and support students through
transitions? Answer - Visual reminders can support students in organizing their
own expectations about what they are doing now and what is to happen next.
A behavior chart helps student determine what behaviors are appropriate and
encourages them to display appropriate behavior. Coaching on what behaviors
are considered appropriate supports students in displaying those behaviors
more frequently.
Flexible instruction and mixed-ability grouping are foundations of which type of
instruction? Answer - Differentiated instruction supports students of all
abilities by personalizing learning through flexible instruction.
Which type of co-teaching model divides a classroom into two groups to
provide instructional content simultaneously? Answer - Parallel teaching
divides a classroom into two groups where both instructors teach the content
simultaneously.
A general education teacher and an EL teacher are co-teaching an English
language arts class in a diverse urban classroom. This particular class is taught
in English. During this lesson on note taking, the general educator provides the
lecture while the EL teacher walks the room answering questions and modeling
when needed. Which model of co-teaching are these two teachers using?
Answer - In the one teach, one assist model, one teacher provides whole
group instruction while the other circulates the room answering questions and
modeling as needed.
Two general educators teach an interdisciplinary class combining history and
art. The art teacher is teaching the general lecture on this particular day while
the history teacher collects data on her counterpart's lecture clarity and
student behavior. Which model of co-teaching are these two teachers using?
Answer - The one teach, one observe co-teaching model strives to obtain data
and feedback for the co-teachers about the effectiveness of their lesson in
general, as well as the response students have to the instruction in terms of
understanding and behaviors.
