(know between a square and a rectangle)

-understanding language

-to hear what is said and to understand it

-Speaking and writing

-ongoing assessment

-Tracks student learning by performance on tasks that are part of the natural      Lesson Plan process

-Problem solving team

-Committee to meet needs of children who are having difficulty in educational setting

-Is general education, not special education, function

-IEP team

-Point to the picture that is mentioned

-To determine how a student is performing using actual content of curriculum such as chapter tests or teacher made tests

-School personnel promote fair and objective testing practices for students from all cultures and linguistic backgrounds

-the numeric representation of standard devition wiith a mean of zero

-School presonnel promote fair and objective testing practices for students from all cultures and linguistic backgrounds.

-Protects persons with disabilities and other conditions from discrimination in programs receiving federal assistance

- Requires that schools make reasonable ( blank check) accommodation

-Has grievance procedures (due process)

-uses numbers for ranking 

 (ex: places in a race)

-uses numbers for identification

 (ex: student ID number, jersey number)

-uses numbers  for ranking whn units are equidistant

 (does not have an absolute zero= meaning zero has no value)

 (ex: dates, dollars, years)

-A functional behavior assessment is a comprehensive and individualized strategy to identify the purpose or function of a student’s problem behavior(s); develop and implement a plan to modify variables that maintain the problem behavior; and teach appropriate replacement behaviors using positive interventions. 

1. Determining the infant's everyday patterns in the areas of regulation

2. Cognitive development (Piaget's stages of development)

3. Social development (laughing , smiling)

4.Physiological development (height, weight)

5. Motor development (crawling, walking)

6. Emerging speech and language development

- A different type of duration recording that involves an observer measuring how long it takes for a behavior to begin after a specific verbal demand or event has occurred.

 (how long it take a child to take out a book when prompted to do so)

Family Centered Program

(definition and advantages and disadvantages)

-The assessment and goals are driven by the family's needs and priorities

Advantages:

-Puts families first

-Family knows child best

-Individualized to family

Disadvantages:

-Silent professional input

-Not educationally based

-Education takes back seat

Family Focused Program

(definition and advantages and disadvantages)

- Considers family's needs but goals and plans are reached through mutual agreement between the family and education professionals

Advantages:

-Professional input is valuable

-Families are still involved in decision making

Disadvantages:

-Family needs may be overlooked due to educational needs

-Mutual agreement may not truly be mutual

-A process of gathering information to monitor progress and make educational decisions if necessary

SIEEDIII:

Screening

Identification

Evaluation

Eligibility

Diagnosis

IEP development 

IEP placement

Instructional planning

-method of assessing a student's total environment to determine what factors are contributing to learning or behavior problems

-this includes the evaluation of classroom variables to determine possible classroom environmental influences of learning or behavior

-the behavior to be changed (usually in an FBA)

-Event recording is a process for documenting the number of times a behavior occurs.

-Also mard time period 

-Uses tally marks

(ex: how many times a student gets out of seat)

-The level of difficulty is what you taught your students

1. Pre-Referral: extra help, meet with child, simplified assignments

2. Problem Solving Team and Pre-Referral Strategies: referred to problem solving team to come up with solutions. If solutions fail...

3. Screening: screening child for suspected disabilities

4. Multidisciplinary Team: assessment to determine services needed

5. Putting it all Together: gather information that will later be used to determine what, if any, special education services will be needed

6. Writing a Professional Report: write a report that included the findings. this will be submitted to the eligibility committee

7.Prepare for Presentation for Eligibility Committee: prepare by putting together repots, results, and forms that will be given to committee

8.Eligibility Committee Meeting: committee decides if special education is given

9.Development: final IEP is created and instituted. if eligibility is denied, then...

10. Alternate Planning and Transition Services: alternate planning is formulated and suggested to the eligibility committee and local school

Play Evaluation: observational informal assessment in a natural play setting

Arena Assessment: places the child and facilitator in the center of the team members for evaluation

-developmental rating scales

-standardized norm-referenced scales of development and cognition

-informal and formal methods of assessing social interactions

-play evaluations

-arena assessment

 -These show the central location around which all data points tend to congregate.

-Mean 

-Median

-Mode

-the starting point before an intervention is implicated

-Apply to real life

-Assessment where student must demonstrate a task

How a student response to a behavior

(student enters room, student talks to peers, peers talk to student)

-Observation of behavior

-Informed in native language or mode of communication

-The parent understands and has agreed in writing to that action

-The parent understands that the consent is voluntary on their part and they know they may withdraw their consent at any time.

-Cognitive Development (Piaget's Stages)

-Social Development (laughing, smiling)

-Pysiological Development (hight, weight)

-Motor Development (crawling, walking)

One of the methods of assuring fair assessment requires the team to do what?

-use more than one method/test

What is the general relationship between reliability and standard error of measurment?

Tests with high reliability have smaller standard error of measurment

Tests with smaller reliability the higher the standard error of measurment

-comparing to variables

-positive

-negative

-no coorelation
