Across the hall are two teachers whom you work with closely and are also good friends. The three of you are discussing the dread of "IEP season" and how creating new goals and performance levels is tedious work. One of the teachers suggests everyone get together in the teacher's lounge after school to complete all the IEPs at once and support each other. What is the next step in response to this collaboration? Identify the IEPs by disability category and assign each teacher categories they are responsible for. This will ensure consistency across each IEP revision. Offer to invite several other teachers as well since IEP revisions and creating new goal items is time-consuming work; all can offer support and collegiality in a relaxed environment. Remind the teacher that any information in the IEP that identifies the student is confidential and should only be shared with those on the IEP team who are working with that specific student Tell the teachers that this is a fantastic way to boost professional collaboration, morale, and targeted support for teachers regardless of experience in the field.

The administrator calls a staff meeting one week before the statewide assessment period. The administrator informs everyone at the meeting that students who seem to struggle with multiple-choice items can be given simple clue prompts but not the obvious answer. Which action can a teacher take that supports professional ethics? Request examples and prompting strategies from previous years' assessments through appropriate assessment-related protocols. Confer with colleagues for instructional and test-administration strategies that will ensure all students can access the assessments appropriately. Schedule a content-focused teacher meeting to brainstorm and devise congruent prompting and suggesting techniques for identified students who struggle with certain assessment formats. Report the meeting and information to an administrator and human resources because the suggestion constitutes violation of multiple rules and laws.

Mara is an eighth-grade student who was diagnosed with a learning disability in mathematics in third grade. She has been going to the resource room during math time and has made significant progress over the past four years. Mara's teachers feel that she should receive services in a general education classroom with accommodations, but Mara's parents are upset and feel that she should continue to receive math in the resource room as outlined in her IEP. The team met, and a consensus could not be reached. Since an agreement could not be made, the IEP team determines their data support placement in the general education classroom, which meets Mara's needs in the least restrictive environment. They know Mara's parents do not agree. What should the parents do next if they are adamant that Mara needs additional services? Request for mediation. File a state complaint, which is also called due process. Ask the special education department chair to assess Mara. Ask an outside agency to retest Mara and use the results to show that she still needs resource services.

A new student has joined your class midyear. He is hard of hearing, uses American Sign Language, and recently left a residential school for the Deaf because his parents felt he was not receiving an adequate education. There are sign language interpreters as part of the student's accommodations. The student tells you that he cannot understand the words in the textbook for the class because they are too complex for him. Which steps or actions should you pursue? Since the student receives sign language interpreters as an accommodation, there are no other services needed because he has full access to the curriculum. Review the student's records, discuss the student's situation with the parents, and gather data on the student's vocabulary levels. Assign a student to take notes during class and share them with the student when necessary. As part of the other duties assigned to the sign language interpreters, request that they explain complex words and phrases when the student needs the support.

A popular software program designed for struggling readers is used often at your school as an intervention. You notice teachers ask students without reading difficulties to sit next to the struggling readers and help them answer questions correctly. Which response or action should you take? Bring the problem to the attention of your superior or principal. This is a misuse of specially designed services for specific students to improve reading. Inform the students without reading challenges or disabilities that they need to remove themselves from assisting the students the software is for specifically. A response is not necessary in this case because students tend to learn from other students. This is a scaffolding activity for improving reading. Inform other administrators and human resources of the situation as soon as possible about the probability of infringement of software abuse.

Ms. Myers is a kindergarten special education teacher. For the past four years, she has supervised three paraeducators in her classroom each day who are working on their teaching degrees. Ms. Myers is swamped this year with students and evaluations. She instructs the paraprofessionals to complete the annual IEP paperwork for Brianna and Thomas. She contacts the parents and Brianna's mom thought this was acceptable, but Thomas's dad did not. How should Ms. Myers proceed? Since her paraeducators are studying to be teachers, Ms. Myers can have the paraeducators do the paperwork, but they do not need to tell anyone about it. Ms. Myers should not have the paraeducators do Thomas's paperwork since his dad disagreed with having them completing it, but it is acceptable for them to do Brianna's since her mom agreed to it. Ms. Myers should do the IEP paperwork herself. The paraeducators can conduct the evaluations but not the writing of the IEP.

You approach a middle school student with an intellectual disability sitting in a wet spot on the hallway carpet, which appears to be her own urine. You talk to the student and ask her if she would like you to walk her to the nurse. While talking to her, the special education teacher comes out of her room and tells you to mind your own business and leave her student alone. She also tells you the student urinated on herself to "gain attention." What is the next thing you should do? Go directly to the administrator to discuss your concerns. Do not get involved in the situation. The special education teacher is in control of her own classroom. Ask the student to come with you to the nurse's office. Explain to her that it was wrong for the teacher to make her sit in her own urine. Step away from the student and ask the teacher in private if you can help in any way. Explain that you respect the teacher but are worried about the welfare of the student.

A student has a nickname that her parents use instead of her legal given name because it is easier for her to pronounce due to her speech disability. When she is in class, her teacher uses the given name despite the student asking to be called by her nickname. When you learn of this situation, which action should you take to advocate for the student? A specific response is not necessary in this situation as it is expressly a point of contention between the teacher and student. Seek a private conversation with the teacher to inquire about the exact details of the conversation to help understand school expectations. Talk with the teacher to understand the reason why the teacher uses the given name of the student. Advocate for the student and parent preference of using the nickname to honor, embrace, and respect the family. Discuss the situation with the family before they meet with their child and her teacher.

Investigating to find the source of the problem Motivating the students to take ownership of their own work Getting to know the family members Talking to the previous teachers of the student
Talking to the previous teachers of the student Correct! While it is important to have knowledge of your students, speaking only to former teachers may cloud your perceptions of the student and their abilities. Each child is different and will grow and change. Involve the families, read between the lines when faced with a challenging situation to see the source of the problem, and help students develop responsibility and ownership to balance your role as an educator.

A middle school student is administered a test according to school policy and in compliance with the student's IEP. Afterward, the science teacher instructs the special educator to retest the student without the IEP accommodations because the science teacher thinks the IEP serves as a crutch for the student. Which action aligns with the CEC Code of Ethics? Convene the IEP team to discuss changing the test results. Contact the student's parents to have the student moved from that teacher's class. Tell the science teacher that the test cannot be retaken because the student's IEP allows for certain accommodations and the current test with those accommodations stands. Change the testing accommodations since the test was taken in that teacher's content area.

At an initial IEP meeting for Nancy, the IEP team determines that she meets the criteria for a learning disability. The parents request a tablet computer for Nancy with several programs loaded onto it. The IEP team deems that it would be beneficial for Nancy to have this technology so it is written into the IEP. The administrator agrees but is worried about how to pay for the technology. What is the responsibility of the administrator in this case? The administrator can find similar technology even if it is not exactly what was described in the IEP as long as it serves the same purpose. The administrator is responsible for finding the funds to deliver what was agreed to in this situation. The administrator applies for funds to the state department of education for what was promised in the IEP. The administrator delegates the responsibility to the special education teacher to find and acquire the technology.

A high school English teacher is concerned that one of his sophomore students is not doing well in his class during the first nine weeks of the school year. He is not sure what the issue is, but he suspects the student may have a learning disability. The student is new to the school district and new to digital learning this year. The English teacher approaches the special education teacher about getting special education services for the student. How should the special education teacher work with the teacher to support the student as well as be compliant with the requirements in IDEA? The special education teacher should work with the English teacher and provide special education services virtually for the student as soon as possible so no more time is wasted and the student can get extra help. The special education teacher should work with the English teacher to follow proper procedures for making a referral as outlined by the school and IDEA. This includes meeting with the parents virtually about concerns and trying some prereferral strategies and interventions virtually to see if the student makes some academic progress and if a formal evaluation is necessary. The special education teacher should encourage the English teacher to contact the student's parents and request that they sign consent to have an evaluation done as soon as possible to see if the student has a disability and qualifies for special education services under IDEA. The special education teacher should encourage the English teacher to do the best she can to help the student and not pursue an evaluation.

Kyle is a fifth-grade student who has exhibited negative verbal and physical contact with his peers when the class transitions for lunch time. Other than these transitions, Kyle is generally appropriate and socially positive. According to PBIS guidelines for managing problem behaviors, which intervention would support Kyle during transition time? Kyle should work with the school's behavior support team (BST) since he is in need of specific PBIS interventions outside of the classroom. Kyle should be referred to the special education team because his behavior is likely a manifestation of a behavioral or emotional disorder. The behavioral issues should be shared with Kyle's peers as a way to use the peer accountability model for desired positive social interactions. The teacher can implement a behavior reward system for Kyle that allows him to earn points for something he enjoys. Kyle's behavior should decrease over time if this strategy is successful.

Differentiated instruction provides teachers with tools and techniques to meet students' individual real-time needs to effectively access the curriculum. What is an appropriate next action when a student does not respond to these techniques? The special education team should consider referral for an IEP or Section 504 services without delay to avoid "wait to fail" issues. The teacher should start collecting data and begin to review school records, conduct parent interviews, and examine academic work to determine special education placement options. The teacher should continue to encourage the student to interact with the content using the same differentiated instruction for several weeks to ensure that the student is truly unresponsive. The teacher should consider strategies for a more individualized focus for a Tier 2 instructional approach. They should begin collecting data for the student.

Priscilla is a native Spanish speaker, but she has spoken English since age five. She is being evaluated for special education in the eighth grade due to concerns of her teachers that she is falling further behind. Her father is very apprehensive about the referral and does not want her misidentified. He believes that even though Priscilla receives language support through EL services, her weakness lies in the lack of English, not in a learning disability. How can Priscilla's multidisciplinary team ensure that she is truly learning disabled and not struggling with her lack of English when conducting the initial evaluation? The team should use a minimum of five different evaluations to determine eligibility. The team should ensure that all assessments are given in the child's native language. The team should ensure that the evaluation takes place within 10 days after the permission to test is signed by the parents. The team should use RTI data from the past several weeks to determine eligibility rather than a single evaluation.

The general education teacher sends all the students with IEP's back to the special education resource room daily where they spend most of the school day. This eliminates the opportunity for participation in the general education setting. How should the special education teacher work with the general education teacher to address the needs of the students and the least restrictive environment? The special education teacher should allow the general education teacher to determine where the educational services take place because the least restrictive environment is not addressed in each student's IEP. The special education teacher should review each student's IEP with the general education teacher to determine the best way to meet the needs of each student. The special education teacher should tell the general education teacher that all the students with IEPs should only spend part of their day in the resource room. The special education teacher should tell the general education teacher that students with IEPs should remain in the general education setting 100 percent of the time.

One of the students in your class uses a certain word to get another student's attention. Other students complain that the word is a bad word and it should not be allowed. You have never heard the word before and, by all accounts, it does not sound negative. You tell the class to move on and focus on their work. One morning, the parent of the student who was insulted storms into your classroom very upset. The parent tells you the word is a highly negative and degrading term for a person with that disability. Which action should be taken? Explain that teachers have varying skills, experiences, or knowledge and may make errors. Recognize there might have been an issue in handling the classroom incident. Inform the principal, but encourage the students to move on. Willingly and openly apologize to both parent and student. Develop a plan to address the incident with the class and make a commitment to educate yourself and your students further. Accept and acknowledge it is virtually impossible and time consuming to stay updated on slangs, phrases, and idioms for protected student groups.

Wilson is a high school freshman learning in a virtual environment. His IEP developed a goal for him to reduce the number of times he verbally interrupts math class from six times per synchronous virtual math lesson to one time per synchronous virtual math lesson on four out of five days. The IEP team wants Wilson to be more independent and use self-assessment to determine progress toward his goal. What is the best way to monitor progress using self-assessment? Wilson's math teacher could video her class and then tally at the end of the hour how many interruptions he had that day. Wilson's special education teacher could compile a portfolio of his math work to use to assess for his goal. Wilson's special education teacher could use an app to record the number of interruptions he has daily in his math class. Wilson's math teacher could record her synchronous virtual math lesson and then have him watch and tally how many interruptions he had during that lesson.

Sara is a fourth grader with an IEP. Lately, she has been withdrawn and does not participate in activities. Her special education teacher is concerned and has been gathering data about the frequency of these behaviors and how it has been affecting her learning. The teacher has requested an IEP meeting to discuss the concerns with the parents and the rest of the IEP team. The parents returned the meeting notice and marked they would not be attending. The teacher thinks the reason they declined is because they know Sara has regressed and are tired of hearing the same things. How can the teacher proceed to provide support at school and home? Continue with the meeting and send home a summary of the meeting notes, which may include data regarding the regression and how it affects her learning. Cancel the meeting since it is not required and continue to gather data about how Sara is doing in school so you can discuss this with the parents at the annual review in a few months. Call the parents to let them know about Sara's regression and try to find a time they can meet. If they still decline, set up a second IEP meeting inviting the parents and hold it with the team. Since the parents were not responsive to your efforts to reach out, have the principal call the parents so it comes from an authority figure.

As class rosters are being completed for the upcoming new year, you discover students assigned to you next year have behavioral and emotional challenges. You ask the principal for clarification. The principal explains that she collaborated with the special education teacher and determined that you would be the appropriate fit based on student needs, teaching styles, and learning styles. As a new teacher, you feel that you are not qualified due to lack of experience or formal training working with students with emotional and behavioral challenges. What response aligns with standards of the profession? Use the praise and vote of confidence from students, peers, and administration to advance your career. Discuss the various goals, academic achievements, and areas of growth with previous teachers of the students.
