Study Notes
Special Education Study Notes
- Matching Content & Instruction (Learning Needs): Individualized education, inclusive education, differentiated instruction, or personalized instruction are all methods to match content to a student's learning needs.
- Multi-Disciplinary Team: A team reviews assessments, and if the student meets eligibility criteria for a learning disability, the family can choose special education services.
- Special Education Needs Assessment: The team decides on the next testing to support special education needs. This might involve creating an individualized education program (IEP).
- Responsive to Intervention (RTI): Observations, universal screening, progress monitoring, and content assessments are used to determine students needing RTI. These are often used to identify students who may need special education.
- Student Eligibility: Evaluating a student in all suspected areas of disability and administering standardized achievement tests to assess overall ability or administering a standardized score are all parts of determining student eligibility for special education.
- Post-Evaluation Process: Post-evaluation steps include deciding student eligibility, developing an IEP, and scheduling a meeting to discuss the IEP.
- Purpose of Assessing Students with Exceptionalities: Determining present levels of functioning and eligibility for services is the main purpose of assessment. Determining budgets or class size is not included.
- Qualitative Data: Examples include descriptions of a desk's location or a class's performance in a comparison group. Numerical scores of individual questions or specific quizzes are not Qualitative data.
- Special Education Assessment Characteristics: Assessments should reflect their intended use, be supported by administration, and have been accurately validated.
- Initial Evaluation Time Limits: The team has a set timeframe, often 30 to 120 days, for completing an initial evaluation.
- Specific Learning Disabilities (IDEA): Dyslexia and written expression disorder are classified as Specific Learning Disabilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
- Special Education Teacher/Other Teacher Collaboration: When team members struggle with student progress, they should invite another teacher in a respectful way to discuss data. Comparing one student's results to those of other students isn't usually an effective approach.
- No Child Left Behind Act Replacement: The Every Student Succeeds Act replaced the No Child Left Behind Act.
- Tiered Support: Universal support affects the entire class, whereas target and intensive tiers focus on groups or specific students.
- Reading Fluency Skills: Interventions (Tier 2 & 3) follow a process where progress will be monitored.
- Response to Intervention (RTI) Components: Components such as regular reviews of student performance data, teacher training, and progress monitoring are crucial to RTI implementation.
- Tier 2 RTI for Math: If progress isn't sufficient, the RTI team should modify the content to an appropriate level of difficulty, and initiate a referral.
- Tiered Support: Universal support applies to all students within the entire class and is used for core subject areas.
- Multidisciplinary Team: Medical, educational personnel and those familiar with the student are typically included.
- Eligibility & Evaluations: Documentation, such as physician reports, test scores, and observation data, supports eligibility for special education.
- Assessment Presentation Accommodations: Read-aloud accommodations, frequent breaks and a separate testing room are all valid accommodations.
- Behavioral Disorders (IDEA): Determining eligibility for special education services under IDEA focuses on behaviors that are inappropriate. These behaviors might occur under various circumstances or need to be witnessed over a period of time.
- Informal Assessments: Rating scales and time sampling are common methods of gathering informal assessment data for determining student eligibility.
- Criterion-Referenced Assessments: These assess students' performance based on specific learning objectives rather than peer comparisons. A disadvantage of criterion referenced assessments is that they do not directly link learning objectives to instructional objectives.
- Correlation: Correlation is a measure of the relationship between two variables. A correlation coefficient of +1.00 indicates a perfect positive correlation, while -1.00 represents a perfect negative correlation.
- Standard Scores (Norm-Referenced): A standard score of 87 suggests a score is below average, if the average for the test is 100 and standard deviation is 15.
- Least Restrictive Environment (LRE): It refers to the setting that maximizes a student's opportunity to interact with typical peers.
