Special Education and Instructional Strategies Part 2

Which of the following is a required component of an IEP?

• A detailed list of every assignment the student will complete.

• Annual measurable goals.

• A complete medical history of the student.

• A statement of the student's favorite subjects.

What is the role of the general education teacher in the IEP process?

• They are not required to attend IEP meetings.

• To provide information about the student's performance in the general education curriculum and to help determine appropriate accommodations.

• To make all final decisions regarding special education placement.

• To solely implement the special education services without collaboration.

A student suspected of having a learning disability is typically evaluated for discrepancies between which two areas?

• Social skills and motor skills.

• Cognitive ability and academic achievement.

• Fine motor skills and gross motor skills.

• Reading fluency and math computation.

A comprehensive evaluation for special education services must be:

• Limited to a single assessment tool.

• Administered by a single professional.

• Non-discriminatory and administered in the student's native language or mode of communication.

• Completed within 24 hours of parental consent.

Differentiated instruction involves:

• Teaching all students the same way, but at different paces.

• Tailoring instruction to meet the diverse needs of individual students in a classroom.

• Exclusively using technology for all lessons.

• Providing only remedial instruction to struggling learners.

What is the primary benefit of using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles in lesson planning?

• To limit the number of accommodations needed for students with disabilities.

• To create instruction that is accessible and engaging for all learners from the outset.

• To focus solely on remediation for struggling students.

• To separate students with disabilities from their non-disabled peers.

Which co-teaching model involves one teacher leading instruction while the other circulates and provides individual support?

• Team teaching

• Station teaching

• One teach, one assist

• Parallel teaching

When designing a positive behavior intervention plan (BIP) based on a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA), the interventions should primarily:

• Punish the student for challenging behaviors.

• Teach replacement behaviors that serve the same function as the challenging behavior.

• Remove the student from the classroom environment.

• Focus on changing the student's personality.

Assistive technology (AT) is broadly defined as:

• Any high-tech device used in the classroom.

• Any item, piece of equipment, or product system that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities.

• Only software programs designed for students with learning disabilities.

• Medical devices used outside of the school setting.

What is the most effective approach for a special education teacher to select research-based instructional strategies?

• Use whatever strategies are most popular on social media.

• Rely solely on their own personal experience from previous years.

• Consult peer-reviewed research, evidence-based practices guidelines, and professional organizations.

• Only use strategies recommended by parents.
