Where does the pre-referral (identification and referral to Special Education) process take
place? - CORRECT ANSWER- In the general education classroom.
What is the pre-referral process? - CORRECT ANSWER- Helps general education teachers
develop effective strategies that improve success for struggling students. - Prevents over-
representation of students who are learning English as a New Language or students who are
at risk, but do not have a disability. - Encourages communication about how to meet student
needs. - A preventative process that helps eliminate inappropriate referrals to special
education Data collection that can support eligibility determination, especially for suspected
learning disabilities.
What is a referral? - CORRECT ANSWER- Someone asking the school district to determine
if the student is a child with a disability as defined under IDEA.
What does a high-quality general education classroom look like? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Effective use of validated curriculum and evidence-based instructional strategies - Frequent
monitoring of growth and skills acquisition - Ongoing teacher training - Universal screening
What is Universal Screening? - CORRECT ANSWER- Assessments given to all students. -

three times per year.
Areas that may be included in Universal Screening - CORRECT ANSWER- Vision - Hearing
- Reading - Math - Behavior - Social Emotional Skills
What happens with the Universal Screening Data? - CORRECT ANSWER- Teachers
determine which students need close monitoring during Tier One instruction. - Teacher might
select the lowest 25% of the class for close monitoring or use district benchmarks to select a
,small group of students for monitoring. - The teacher will deliver high-quality instruction to
the whole class and closely monitor progress for the struggling students to see if they are
responding to the high-quality instruction.
What happens in a Tier 1 classroom? - CORRECT ANSWER- Uses evidence-based,
scientifically researched core curriculum materials - Aligns to state standards. - Teachers
trained in how to deliver the curriculum. - Student progress is monitored regularly. - About
75-80% of students reach competency in Tier 1.
What are some things that might spark an initial concern about a student? - CORRECT
ANSWER- Falling grades - Difficulty comprehending what is read - Motivation decreases -
Behaviors (e.g., acting out or withdrawn) - Non-compliance - Executive functioning concerns
(e.g., lack of organization, task initiation, impulse control) - Social-emotional concerns (e.g.
lack of confidence, difficulty with change) - Trauma (e.g., family death, divorce, starting a
new school) - Significant absences
How does the teacher know the student is not meeting competency in Tier 1? - CORRECT
ANSWER- Data analysis. - Is the rate of learning sufficient for the student to reach the
average range with peers in a reasonable amount of time? - Can the intensity of interventions
be maintained in the general education classroom or is more needed? - Is the student able to
reach the average range with accommodations? : Remember, anyone can have an
accommodation. We are simply providing access.
What happens to a student who is not meeting competency in Tier 1? - CORRECT
ANSWER- Begins additional small group instruction and more intensive monitoring - Tier 2.
What happens in Tier 2? - CORRECT ANSWER- This is supplemental to what the student
continues to receive in Tier 1. - A small group of students may be pulled aside while Tier 1
students are completing some independent work or working in stations. - Tier 2 focuses on
specific skill-building and practice. - The teacher chunks down what was taught in Tier 1 and
reteaches a smaller chunk, using different strategies and tools. For example, if the students
are working on 1:1 correspondence for numerals 1-10; in the Tier 2 group, the students might
work on numerals 1-5. - The small group might meet 2-3 times per week to practice the skill.
- Skill progress is assessed more frequently than in Tier 1. - Goal is for student to reach the
average range in the skill and return to success in Tier 1.
How do we know if the student is making adequate progress in Tier 2? - CORRECT
ANSWER- Example of a student responding positively to the Intervention This fourth grade
student had 9 weeks of small group instruction 1 hour/day, 5 days/week. Progress monitoring
, results indicated a 24-point increase, At the current Rate of Improvement (ROI), the student
will "catch up" to the 4th grade EOY benchmark with an additional 3 weeks of instruction
What is Tier 3 intervention in RTI? - CORRECT ANSWER- This is supplemental to what the
student continues to receive in Tier 1. - An individual student may be pulled aside while Tier
1 students are completing some independent work or working in stations. -bTier 3 focuses on
more time, more attention and special resources - The small group might meet 4-5 times per
week to practice the skill. - Skill progress is assessed more frequently than in Tier 2 - Goal is
for student to reach the average range in the skill and return to success in Tier 1.
Is Tier 3 Special Education? - CORRECT ANSWER- No. Tier 3 is part of general education.
What is the IDEA Special Rule for eligibility determination? - CORRECT ANSWER- Under
Section 300.306 of IDEA, the Special Rule states that a student cannot be found eligible for
special education if, the main challenge for the student is:
o Lack of appropriate instruction in reading
o Lack of appropriate instruction in math
o Limited English proficiency
Why is the IDEA Special Rule for eligibility determination important in pre-referral? -
CORRECT ANSWER- • The general education staff must provide data to the eligibility
determination team that demonstrates the student has had appropriate instruction in reading
and math. The student has had the opportunity to learn those academic subjects.
• The general education staff must provide data to the eligibility team that demonstrates that
in addition to limited English proficiency, a disability is also suspected. ELs can have
disabilities. Learning English is NOT a disability.
When is a Tier 3 student referred to special education? - CORRECT ANSWER- • The student
is not making progress
•The general education team is confident that their data meet the standards for IDEA's
Special Rule.
