In the RTI model:
teachers' instruction is examined to determine its quality and validity
Handouts that contain an outline of lecture content and include spaces for writing key facts, concepts, or relationships are an example of:
guided notes.
A major concern about using RTI to identify learning disabilities is that:
interventions are not always implemented with fidelity.
The overall effectiveness of direct instruction techniques compared to whole class instruction shows that:
direct instruction is more effective for all learning groups.
Direct instruction includes each of the following except:
slowly-paced lessons.
Repeated readings is a technique used to improve:
reading fluency
process in which a student reads a passage (aloud or silently) with words deleted and then selects words to replace the missing words is called a:
maze task
All students with learning disabilities have:
academic problems
Each is characteristic of whole class instruction except:
providing frequent individualized feedback.
Breaking down academic problems into component parts that can be taught separately and then combined is called
task analysis.
The most common characteristic of students with learning disabilities is:
significant reading problems.
An example of a curriculum-based measurement in mathematics is:
kindergartners circling numbers on a page to demonstrate numeral identification.
Research on behavior problems and students with learning disabilities indicates which of the following?
Students' negative behaviors are caused by academic deficits.
An advantage of the Response to Intervention approach to identifying students with learning disabilities is that it often:
results in early identification and prevention.
A drawback to using a discrepancy approach to identify children with learning disabilities is:
test scores may not represent actual ability.
A major reason why students with learning disabilities do poorly on memory tasks is:
strategy use deficits.
