VERSION EXAM PREP - VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS -
COMPLETE COVERAGE
What sources of data should be considered when writing an IEP? Special
education assessments, IEP progress monitoring data, other assessments,
observations, student input, parent input, teacher input, grade level expectations,
behavioral data, and state assessments.
What are the benefits of using a variety of data? Comprehensive understanding,
informed decision making, tailored interventions, progress monitoring, equity
and inclusivity, and collaboration and communication.
What are qualitative assessments? Methods of evaluation that focus on
understanding the characteristics, qualities, and experiences of individuals
rather than quantifying data.
What are the types of qualitative assessments? Observations, interviews,
samples and portfolios, anecdotal records, checklists and scales, and functional
behavioral assessments.
What are quantitative assessments? Methods of evaluation that focus on
measuring and quantifying a student's performance, skills, or knowledge using
numerical data.
What are the types of quantitative assessments? Standardized tests, criterion
referenced tests, screening assessments, progress monitoring, and diagnostic
assessments.
What are informal assessments? More flexible and spontaneous assessments,
occurring during everyday classroom activities.
What are formal assessments? Structured evaluations that adhere to
predetermined criteria and are often standardized.
What are formative assessments? Assessments used during the learning process
to gauge student understanding and guide further learning.
, What are summative assessments? A tool for evaluating student learning at
specific points, such as at the end of a unit, semester, or academic year; often in
the form of a quiz or test.
What is universal screening? Implementing regular assessments to identify
students who may require additional support or intervention early on.
What is Child Find? A legal mandate under the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA) that requires public schools to identify, locate, and
evaluate all children with exceptionalities who may be in need of special
education and related services.
What are criterion-referenced assessments? Assessments that measure a
student's performance against a specific set of criteria or learning standards.
What are curriculum-based assessments? Frequent, brief assessments that
evaluate a student's progress in specific academic areas directly linked to the
curriculum.
What is direct observation? A method that allows educators to record specific
behaviors in real-time, focusing on particular times, activities, or settings where
issues are most likely to arise.
What are behavioral checklists and rating scales? Tools that quantify the
frequency, intensity, and duration of behaviors, offering a measurable way to
track changes over time and assess intervention success.
What is a functional behavior assessment (FBA)? A systematic process used to
identify the underlying causes and functions of specific behaviors in students.
What is student self-assessment? A process that encourages students to reflect
on their behavior and the effectiveness of interventions, promoting self-
awareness and aligning their perspectives with teacher observations.
What are anecdotal records? Records that document specific behavioral
incidents in a narrative form, providing detailed qualitative data that can reveal
patterns and guide intervention adjustments.
What is the 4-point method? A method that allows educators to plot data points
from assessments on a graph, connecting four key points—such as the start,
midpoint, and endpoints of a given period.
What is a goal line? A line that represents the expected trajectory of student
progress based on set goals.
