teacher conducts reading inventories with their students and uses those data to inform future
instruction?
R
1. Grading
2. Teaching
U
3. Assessment [correct]
SE
4. Professional development
[Feedback for Answer Choice 1]
While this teacher may in fact use the reading inventory process as some type of formal grade,
this term does not accurately describe the process being conducted.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 2]
IS
Teaching is a complex process and conducting a reading inventory could be a part of the
O
teaching process, however this term is much too broad to constitute the correct answer.
[Feedback for Correct Answer 3]
N
Assessment in special education is a process that involves collecting information about a
student for the purpose of making decisions. In this question, the teacher is collecting data
N
(reading inventories) and using the data to make decisions about future instruction. This is the
assessment process.
O
[Feedback for Answer Choice 4]
Professional development is a term that often refers to a teacher engaging in some type of
C
training or formal education process to better their own practice. In this question, the teacher is
using data to support students and improve instruction, not to better their own practice.

[Q 2]
Qualeya is a special education teacher who is busy looking for patterns in the previous
mathematics performance of a student she is working hard to support. In which of the following
stages of the assessment process is Qualeya presently engaged?
M
, [Feedback for Correct Answer 2]
The analysis stage involves understanding patterns in a child’s educational, social,
developmental, environmental, medical, and emotional history. Since Qualeya is engaged in
reviewing previously collected data in order to determine patterns, it is clear she is engaged in
analysis.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 3]
In the evaluation stage, a child’s strengths and limitations in certain areas are determined.
Qualeya does not yet have enough information to make these types of determinations.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 4]
R
In the recommendation stage, professionals make suggestions regarding educational
placements. This would be premature for Qualeya given her current place in the assessment
U
process.
[Q 3]

Gerald’s parents have just been called in for a meeting with the school psychologist who would
like to discuss the results of Gerald’s psychological evaluation. The school psychologist intends
to inform them that Gerald has a specific learning disability. Which stage of the assessment
process is described in this scenario?
1. Determination [correct]
2. Recommendation
IS
O
3. Analysis
4. Evaluation
N
[Feedback for Correct Answer 1]
In the determination stage, the presence of a suspected disability is suggested based on the
N
knowledge of the criteria that constitute each category. The school psychologist, in this
scenario, is engaged in making a professional determination regarding the presence of a
O
specific learning disability.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 2]
C
The school psychologist is not seeking to give guidance or make suggestions at this time, so
this is not the recommendation stage of the assessment process.
ED
[Feedback for Answer Choice 3]
While the school psychologist certainly engaged in the analysis of data to determine patterns,
the psychologist has enough data to move beyond the analysis stage in the assessment
process.
