(Example-at the end of a review session, a math teacher poses questions to students about a particular mathematical operation. If the student's answer incorrectly, the teacher revisits key aspects of the review. If the students answer correctly, the teacher proceeds to a more advanced topic). Summative Assessment - Correct Answer The process of evaluating student achievement at the end of an instructional period. Examples: Scores on a quiz Grades on a student's report card Scores on a "high stakes," state achievement test administered at the end of the school year RTI-Response To Intervention - Correct Answer The ongoing role of assessment in instruction and intervention is illustrated by this educational process. There are 3 levels of intensity, or tiers. ○ Tier 1:students who have been identified as at-risk receive additional, targeted instruction for several weeks. ○ Tier 2: students who have not responded sufficiently to tier 1 interventions receive more intensive, longer-lasting interventions. ○ Tier 3: students who have not responded to tier 2 interventions receive still more intensive, individualized interventions. ○ Students who do not respond to tier 3 interventions will probably be referred for evaluation for disability status, although referral may take place at any time. SBR-Scientifically Based Research - Correct Answer Is distinguished by a number of characteristics:
