  1. When implementing a Tier 2 intervention for students at risk, the SAC should coordinate PRIMARILY with which school team?

    Answer: The Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) or Student Support Team

    The MTSS/Student Support Team is the designated body for coordinating Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions and monitoring student progress.

  2. A SAC discovers mid-implementation that a planned curriculum is developmentally inappropriate for the target grade level. The BEST immediate action is to:

    Answer: Pause implementation, adapt the curriculum, and document the modification

    Pausing to adapt and document ensures students receive appropriate content while maintaining program fidelity records.

  3. Which method BEST evaluates whether a student assistance program achieved its intended behavior-change outcomes?

    Answer: Comparing pre- and post-intervention scores on validated behavioral assessments

    Pre/post comparison using validated assessments directly measures whether participants changed in the targeted behavioral domain.

  4. A SAC is building a community partnership for a mental health referral network. Which step should come BEFORE signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)?

    Answer: Clarifying roles, data-sharing protocols, and liability boundaries with each partner

    Defining roles, data-sharing, and liability in advance ensures the MOU reflects actual operating agreements rather than aspirational language.

  5. Fidelity monitoring during program implementation MOST directly serves which purpose?

    Answer: Ensuring the program is delivered as designed so outcomes can be accurately attributed to the intervention

    Fidelity monitoring verifies that a program is implemented as intended, which is necessary to validly interpret outcome data.

  6. A SAC plans to use focus groups to gather stakeholder feedback on a proposed program. Which participant composition BEST ensures balanced perspectives?

    Answer: A purposive mix of students, parents, teachers, and community representatives

    Purposively including diverse stakeholder groups captures varied perspectives, reducing the risk of bias from any single constituency.

  7. When writing measurable program objectives, which verb choice is MOST appropriate for assessing student knowledge gain?

    Answer: Identify

    'Identify' is an observable, measurable behavior, whereas 'appreciate,' 'understand,' and 'value' are internal states that cannot be directly measured.
