What is a key component of Step 2 (Analyzing the Problem)?

Back

Front

Step 2 (Analyzing the Problem) involves using multiple data sources to validate potential root causes.

Back

True

Front

When defining a problem, which factor should be considered first? Options: The students’ effort levels, The expectations for student performance, The number of interventions available, The cost of instructional materials

Back

The expectations for student performance

Front

Which of the following is a critical question for Step 2 (Analyzing the Problem)?
Options: What intervention will we use?, Why is the problem occurring?, How do we measure intervention success?, What professional development is needed?

Back

Why is the problem occurring?

Front

The ICEL framework helps categorize factors that could be contributing to student performance issues.

Back

True

Front

In Step 2 (Analyzing the Problem), what should be considered when forming a hypothesis?

Back

Data-driven root causes related to instruction, curriculum, environment, and the learner

Front

A teacher hypothesizes: "If we provide explicit instruction on breaking down word problems into smaller parts, then students will improve their problem-solving accuracy." Is this a strong hypothesis?

Back

Yes

Front

Which RIOT category would best validate this hypothesis? Options: Test, Interview, Observation, Test and Interview
