EDTP 3305 Final

The school team has qualified a student for a specific learning disability after trying multiple evidence-based interventions and examining progress monitoring data.  A teacher that the student works with is unsure that this is enough information to determine if the student has a learning disability.  What law states that this is an acceptable method to qualify a student for services?

• Individuals with Disabilities Educational Improvement Act

• Free Appropriate Public Education

• Least Restrictive Environment

• NCLB

A student has been evaluated for a cognitive disability.  The intelligence test revealed a score that was significantly below average.  What other area needs to be assessed to determine if the student has a cognitive disability?

• Communication

• Adaptive Behavior

• Gross Motor Skills

• Fine Motor Skills

Two teachers are discussing the most important levels in Bloom’s Taxonomy.  Teacher one believes that the lowest level of knowledge is most important since without knowledge you can’t move onto any higher level thinking.  Teacher two believes that the evaluation level is most important since it requires all levels of cognitive processing to be present.  Which teacher is correct?

• Teacher Two because evaluation requires all levels of cognitive processing to be integrated. 

• Both because each play an important role in student learning

• Neither because all of the levels in the taxonomy are equally important for learning to occur.

• Teacher One because knowledge is required for all other levels build on it

Nick who has been in Tier II interventions has made little progress with the math computation skills he has been working on.  The problem solving team is meeting to decide what would the next step should be for Nick.  Which of the following is not a decision the team would likely come to:

• stop the intervention process completely

• increase the intensity of the intervention

• change the intervention

• stop the intervention and evaluate for special education

From an instructional viewpoint why do teachers need to assess a student’s classroom learning outcomes?

• It is required by NCLB

• It is part of the profession of teaching

• In order to have something to “show” for the work they have been doing with their students.

• In order to ensure that their students have learned the objectives and benefitted from instruction  

Assessment can involve a variety of different procedures in the classroom that collect student evidence.

• True

• false

A teacher only needs to know and understand the learning outcomes of the grade that they teach.

• true

• false

Which is not a knowledge domain in the revised taxonomy?

(a)  

A parent has requested an evaluation for their child.  The school employees are trying to implement a new system where they try interventions before assessing a child for a disability.  They explain this to the parent who is very understanding and supportive of the process, so school officials deny the parent request for an evaluation a week after the parent requested it.  Are schools allowed to deny parents an evaluation of their child if they request one? 

• Yes - they can deny the evaluation request as long as it is within the time line guidelines

• no

• maybe

For an end of the term project a teacher has designed a rubric for her students so that they can check to ensure that all of the required elements are present in the project.  In this scenario what assessment purpose is the rubric serving?

• easier grading

• portfolio

• self-assessment
