Progress Monitoring Part #1 - SPE 602 Stracione Flashcards
These are necessary for child to benefit from special education; includes speech-language pathology and audiology services, psychological services, physical and occupational therapy, recreation, early identification and assessment, counseling, rehabilitation counseling, orientation and mobility services, school health services, social work services, parent counseling and training.
related services
The score or value that occurs most often in a distribution.
mode
Data reported by subcategory, for example grade level, gender, or race/ethnicity is…
disaggregated
also make card for disappropriated
These are markers or guideposts that enable parents and professionals to monitor a baby’s learning, behavior, and development. They consist of skills or behaviors that most children can do by a certain age. While each child develops differently, some differences may indicate a slight delay and others may be a red flag or warning sign for greater concern.
developmental milestones
Procedural safeguard to resolve disputes between parents and schools; must be voluntary, cannot be used to deny or delay right to a due process hearing; must be conducted by a qualified and impartial and trained individual.
mediation
The process of testing and measuring skills and abilities; includes aptitude tests, achievement tests, and screening tests
assessment
Use of standardized tests to evaluate an individual’s performance in a specific area (i.e., cognitive, psychomotor, or physical functioning).
ability testing
Requirement that states ensure that all children with disabilities are identified, located and evaluated, and determine which children are receiving special education and related services.
Child Find
also make card for Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
A graphic representation of an individual’s scores on several tests or subtests; allows for easy identification of strengths or weaknesses across different tests or subtests.
profile
also make card for webbing & composite file
A measure of the variability of a distribution of scores. A statistic used to express the extent of the divergence of a set of scores from the average of all the scores in the group
standard deviation (SD)
also make card for scaled and standard score
These show how a student compares with others who took the test on a scale of 1 to 99. This differs from NCEs in that they do not represent equal units of achievement along the scale.
percentile/percentile rank
Brief assessment of all students in the school to identify which students are not proficient relative to specified benchmarks (standard that corresponds with successful outcomes in the future), indicating that they are at risk for potential difficulties in language arts, mathematics, behavior, or other domains.
universal screening assessment
Students with a primary or home language other than English and limited or no age-appropriate ability to understand, speak, read or write English.
English Language Learners (ELLs)
This is the ongoing process of collecting and analyzing student data to determine progress toward either specific skills or general outcomes. This information allows for immediate instructional decisions based on the review and analysis of the collected data.
progress monitoring
Norms that have been obtained from data collected in a limited locale, such as a school system, county, or state. They may be used instead of, or along with, national norms to evaluate student performance.
local norms
also make card for standard, federal, state
Statute about confidentiality and access to educational records.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
A specific number that results from the assessment of an individual.
score
A characteristic that is indicative of competence in a field; aptitude.
ability
An individual’s ability to learn or to develop proficiency in an area if provided with appropriate education or training. This type includes tests of general academic (scholastic) ability; tests of special abilities (i.e., verbal, numerical, mechanical); tests that assess “readiness” for learning; and tests that measure ability and previous learning that are used to predict future performance.
aptitude
A score to which raw scores are converted by numerical transformation (e.g., conversion of raw scores to percentile ranks or standard scores).
derived score
A goal line based on expected rate of progress that is created by drawing a line from the baseline to the target.
aimline
also make card for baseline, ceiling line, median line
A test in which performance is measured by the number of tasks performed in a given time.
speed test
The practice of combining two or more subtest scores to create an average score. For example, a reading performance score may be an average of vocabulary and reading comprehension subtest scores.
composite score
A collection of work that shows progress and learning; can be designed to assess progress, learning, effort, and/or achievement.
portfolio
A unit of a standard score scale that divides the norm population into nine groups with the mean at of 5.
stanine
A modification that involves using a lower grade level test and is used for making instructional and planning decisions, but is not appropriate for accountability assessments is:
out-of-level testing
Changes in the content, format, and/or administration of a test to accommodate test takers who are unable to take the test under standard test conditions; alters what the test is designed to measure or the comparability of scores.
modification
A scoring procedure yielding a single score based on overall student performance rather than on an accumulation of points.
holistic scoring
The consistency of scoring between two or more independent scorers.
interrater reliability
When the student reaches a specific number of incorrect responses, then the test is discontinued.
ceiling level
