  1. A teacher groups students by readiness level and provides different texts on the same topic. This differentiation strategy targets:

    Answer: Content

    Providing different texts adjusts the content — what students learn from — based on readiness.

  2. A student with an IEP requires extended time on assessments. A teacher who enforces the standard time limit is:

    Answer: Violating a legally mandated accommodation

    IEP accommodations are legally required under IDEA; failing to provide them violates federal law.

  3. Which of the following best exemplifies a performance-based assessment?

    Answer: Students designing and conducting an original science experiment

    Performance-based assessments require students to demonstrate skills by completing real-world or authentic tasks.

  4. A teacher uses exit tickets at the end of each lesson. The primary instructional benefit of this practice is that it:

    Answer: Offers quick data to inform the next day's instruction

    Exit tickets are a formative tool that reveal what students understood or struggled with, allowing the teacher to adjust the next lesson accordingly.

  5. When planning a lesson, a teacher considers the prerequisite knowledge students need before introducing new content. This planning step reflects understanding of:

    Answer: Zone of proximal development and scaffolding theory

    Vygotsky's ZPD emphasizes building on existing knowledge; scaffolding bridges what students already know to new learning.

  6. A teacher wants all students, including those with disabilities, to access the same curriculum through flexible means. Which framework guides this approach?

    Answer: Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

    UDL provides multiple means of representation, engagement, and expression so all learners can access the curriculum.

  7. A teacher assigns a project where students choose their format (essay, video, or model) to demonstrate mastery of the same standard. This differentiates by:

    Answer: Product

    Allowing students to choose how they demonstrate learning differentiates the product while keeping the standard consistent.
