    Families must wait until their child is school-age before they can get help if they believe their child has a disability.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because families do not have to wait until their child is school-age to seek help if they believe their child has a disability. Early intervention services are available for children from birth to age three, and special education services can be provided to children with disabilities as young as three years old. Waiting until the child is school-age may delay necessary interventions and support for the child's development and well-being.

    Parents may request that their child be tested in their primary language when being tested for an IEP.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Parents have the right to request that their child be tested in their primary language when being evaluated for an Individualized Education Program (IEP). This is important because testing a child in their primary language ensures that the assessment accurately reflects their abilities and provides a fair evaluation. By allowing testing in their primary language, parents can ensure that their child's unique needs and strengths are properly identified and addressed in the development of their IEP.

    LRE - Least Restrictive Environment is the setting most like that of students without disabilities that also meet each child's educational needs.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the concept of Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) aims to provide students with disabilities an educational setting that closely resembles that of their peers without disabilities. It ensures that each child's individual educational needs are met while promoting inclusion and integration into mainstream classrooms to the maximum extent possible. This approach recognizes the importance of providing appropriate support and accommodations to students with disabilities, while also fostering their social and academic development alongside their non-disabled peers.

    • Tier 1

    • Tier 2

    • Tier 3

    Correct Answer
    A. Tier 3
    Explanation
    At Tier 3 of the Response to Intervention (RTI) model, the most intense intervention is provided and a child can be referred for special education. This tier is typically reserved for students who have not responded to the interventions provided at Tier 1 and Tier 2. At Tier 3, students receive individualized and intensive interventions to address their specific learning needs. If these interventions are not successful in improving the student's progress, they may be referred for a comprehensive evaluation to determine eligibility for special education services.

    The goal of NCLB requiring 95% of students with disabilities participating in statewide assessments is to get schools to increase the performance of these students in essential knowledge and skills.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The goal of NCLB (No Child Left Behind) is to improve the performance of students with disabilities in essential knowledge and skills. Requiring 95% of these students to participate in statewide assessments is a way to ensure that schools are actively working towards this goal. By including a high percentage of students with disabilities in these assessments, schools are encouraged to provide appropriate support and accommodations to help these students succeed academically.

  • 7. 

    Students with disabilities cannot be expelled.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false. Students with disabilities can be expelled under certain circumstances. However, there are legal protections in place to ensure that students with disabilities are not discriminated against and that their individual needs are met. The process for expelling a student with a disability may involve additional considerations and requirements, such as conducting a manifestation determination review to determine if the behavior is related to the student's disability. Ultimately, the decision to expel a student with a disability should be made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account their unique circumstances and needs.

    In the RTI process, which tier gives an universal screener to all students?

    • Tier 1

    • Tier 2

    • Tier 3

    Correct Answer
    A. Tier 1
    Explanation
    In the RTI (Response to Intervention) process, Tier 1 is the first level of support provided to all students. It involves the implementation of a universal screener, which is a tool or assessment used to identify students who may be at risk or in need of additional support. This universal screener is administered to all students in order to gather data and determine if any students require further intervention or assistance. Therefore, Tier 1 is the tier that gives a universal screener to all students in the RTI process.

    Correct Answer
    A. Tier 2
    Explanation
    In Response to Intervention (RTI) model, Tier 2 is the correct answer. At this tier, a small group of students who need additional support receive extra instruction once a week to reinforce the skills taught to all students. This tier provides targeted interventions to address specific learning needs and prevent academic difficulties from escalating further.

It can create unnecessary pressure and anxiety for the learners, which may hinder their ability to effectively communicate in the second language. Additionally, some learners may feel embarrassed or shy about speaking in front of others, further impeding their language practice. Instead, teachers should create a supportive and encouraging environment where learners feel comfortable and motivated to practice their second language voluntarily.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because Response to Intervention (RTI) does not only focus on one group of students in the fall. RTI is a multi-tiered approach that involves identifying and supporting students who are struggling academically or behaviorally. It includes three tiers of interventions, with increasing levels of support, and students can move up and down the tiers based on their individual needs and progress. Therefore, it is not limited to one group of students but rather is a flexible and individualized approach to meeting students' needs.

    • True

    • False

    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because not all RTI programs follow the exact same steps and procedures. While there may be some common elements or guidelines, each program can have its own specific processes and requirements.

This means that even if there is not a significant difference between a child's ability and their actual performance, they can still be eligible for special education support. This change allows for a more inclusive approach to identifying and providing services for students who may benefit from additional assistance in their education.

    Rate this question:

    Explanation
    The correct answer is Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) 2004. This act allows schools to use the Response to Intervention (RTI) model to identify students with special needs. The RTI model is a multi-tiered approach that involves providing interventions and supports to students who are struggling academically or behaviorally, and monitoring their progress. By using the RTI model, schools can identify students who may need special education services and provide them with the appropriate support. The IDEIA 2004 ensures that students with disabilities receive a free and appropriate public education.

Additionally, they may help identify children with disabilities and provide interventions to tier 3 students, offering intensive support to help them access the general curriculum. However, they may not have sole responsibility for ensuring students meet IEP goals, as this is typically a collaborative effort involving various stakeholders.
