Question 1

A special educator wants to use progress monitoring to determine if a reading intervention is effective. Which tool is MOST appropriate for this purpose?

Accepted Answer

Curriculum-based measurement (CBM) oral reading fluency probes

Answer

CBM oral reading fluency probes are brief, reliable, and sensitive to short-term growth, making them ideal for frequent progress monitoring.

Question 2

Which statement BEST describes the difference between a Section 504 plan and an IEP?

Accepted Answer

An IEP is governed by IDEA and includes specialized instruction; a 504 plan under the Rehabilitation Act provides accommodations without special education services

Answer

IEPs under IDEA provide specialized instruction and related services, while 504 plans under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ensure access through accommodations without requiring special education eligibility.

Question 3

A student with a learning disability reads grade-level text with poor fluency. What does research indicate is the MOST effective fluency-building strategy?

Accepted Answer

Repeated reading with corrective feedback and charted progress

Answer

Repeated reading with corrective feedback is strongly evidence-based for improving reading fluency by increasing automaticity through multiple exposures and immediate error correction.

Question 4

A teacher is applying Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles. Which action BEST reflects the 'multiple means of action and expression' guideline?

Accepted Answer

Allowing students to demonstrate knowledge via written, oral, or visual formats

Answer

Multiple means of action and expression means giving students varied options for how they demonstrate their learning, such as writing, speaking, drawing, or building.
