2.

Progressive discipline seeks to change a student’s behavior through punishment and stringent consequences.

True
False

Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

False. Progressive discipline does not seek punishment as a sole means of effectuating a change to student behavior. Instead, progressive discipline seeks concurrent accountability and behavioral change. The goal is prevention of a recurrence of negative behavior by helping students learn from their mistakes.

Which of the following would a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) and Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) not include?

A description of the problem behavior
Punitive consequences for the problem behavior
Global and specific hypotheses as to why the problem behavior occurs
Intervention strategies that include positive behavioral supports and services to address the behavior

Correct Answer

A. Punitive consequences for the problem behavior

Explanation

Punitive consequences (Answer B) are not part of an FBA or BIP. The BIP (and the underlying FBA) is designed to provide supports and services that address the behavior and lead to improvement and not to be used as a punishment. FBAs and BIPs do contain a description of the problem behavior (Answer A), global and specific hypotheses as to why the problem behavior occurs (Answer C) and intervention strategies that include positive behavioral supports and services to address the behavior (Answer D).

Why would peer mediation a Tier 2 support?

It would involve two students.
Peer mediation helps build a positive school culture for the entire school.
It is an intervention that would be beneficial to a subset of students.
It is a type of discipline that would be beneficial to a subset of students.

Correct Answer

A. It is an intervention that would be beneficial to a subset of students.

Explanation

C is the correct answer. During peer mediation, students facilitate resolving disputes between two people or small groups. It recognizes that there is validity to the conflicting points of view that students bring to the table and helps students work out a solution that meets both sets of needs. Because it is not an approach that affects all students (Answer B), it is not be a Tier 1 intervention. Rather, since it is appropriate for a subset of students or to address a subset of circumstances in which students have conflict (Answer C), it would likely be considered a Tier 2 support. While peer mediation may involve two or more students (Answer A), this is not criteria that would qualify it under any tier of support. Finally, peer mediation is not consider a type of discipline, so Answer D is not a correct response.

When would a school be required to hold a Manifestation Determination Review?

Whenever a student with an IEP or 504 is suspended.
When a student with an IEP or a 504 has a disciplinary change of placement.
When a Superintendent’s Suspension is imposed for student with an IEP or a 504 Plan.
When any student is suspended for 10 or more days.

Correct Answer

A. When a student with an IEP or a 504 has a disciplinary change of placement.

Explanation

An MDR is required whenever a student with an IEP or 504 Plan has a disciplinary change of placement (Answer B). A disciplinary change of placement occurs if a student is removed from his/her current educational program:

1. for more than 10 consecutive school days as the result of a superintendent’s suspension;

2. for more than 10 cumulative school days in a school year as a result of a “pattern of removals.”

Answers A, C and D are incorrect because they describe scenarios that are broader than the actual requirement.
