Chapter 10: education Flashcards
a significant discrepancy existed between the
child’s measured intellectual ability and the level of achievement that could reasonably be expected from the child
in one or more areas
Specific Learning Disability (SLD)
examples of Specific Learning Disability (SLD)
- Dysgraphia
- Dyscalculia
- Dyslexia
A multilevel prevention framework applied in educational settings that is designed to maximize student achievement through the use of data that identifies students at risk for poor learning outcomes combined with evidence-based intervention and teaching
RTI model
Tier: students lag behind their peers by one or more years, demonstrate very weak progress on screening measures, and require intensive intervention
tier 3
Tier: students lag well behind their peers, demonstrate weak progress on screening measures, and require some form of intervention
tier 2
Tier: students learn at rough grade level or above, and are least likely to fall behind or need intervention
tier 1
steps involved in RTI
- teachers provide evidence-based instruction;
- student learning of that instruction is regularly evaluated;
- intervention, if required occurs in some form appropriate adjustment in instruction;
- re-evaluation of learning takes place; and
- intervention and reassessment occur as necessary.
aims to accelerate the learning process for all
students as well as identify students with learning disabilities
RTI model
A multidisciplinary approach to evaluation that assimilates input from relevant sources
Integrative assessment
An approach to exploring learning potential that is based on a test-intervention-retest model
dynamic assessment
designed to yield information about the nature and amount of intervention required
to enhance a child’s performance
The Learning Potential Assessment Device (LPAD)
T or F: Dynamic assessors do not remain neutral; by contrast, they may do everything in their power to help the test taker master material in preparation for retesting
true
T or F: Variations may be introduced that help the test taker better understand or remediate the obstacles to learning
true
Designed to measure accomplishment
achievement tests
use of achievement tests in educational settings
- gauge student progress toward instructional objectives
- compare an individual’s accomplishments to peers
- help determine what activities might best propel the students toward the objective

or absence of a specified behavior, thought, event or circumstance
Checklist
completed by an evaluator; make a judgement of relative standing with regard to a specified variable or list of variables
Rating scale
tool used to identify areas of deficit to be targeted for intervention
Diagnostic tests
A test kit that generally contains two types of tests: those that measure
abilities related to academic success and those that measure educational achievement
