MCA Mild/Moderate Cross Categorical Special Education - FAQ Sample Questions

Under the No Child Left Behind Act, in which of the following situations would this school fail to make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)?

I. Students in grade 8 (312 students) only fail to make AYP.  
II. Only students with disabilities (112 students) fail to make AYP; all regular education students make AYP.  
III. ELL (English Language Learners, 43 students) fail to make AYP; all other students make AYP.





Correct Answer:
i, ii, and iii
the no child left behind act (nclb), enacted in 2001, aimed to ensure that all students receive a high-quality education and achieve proficiency in core academic subjects. one of the key components of nclb was the requirement for schools to make adequate yearly progress (ayp) in improving student achievement. ayp determinations were based on standardized testing performance and other relevant criteria, with the goal of ensuring that all students, including those in specific subgroups, were making sufficient academic progress. under nclb, schools were evaluated not only on the overall performance of their student body but also on the performance of specific subgroups. these subgroups included major ethnic/racial groups, economically disadvantaged students, students with disabilities, and english language learners (ells). for a school to achieve ayp, each of these subgroups must meet predetermined academic targets set by the state.

given the scenarios presented in the question: i. if only students in grade 8 fail to make ayp, the school would not meet its ayp goals. this is because grade-level performance is a significant metric in determining ayp. failure of an entire grade level, especially with a large number of students like 312, indicates that the school is not meeting educational standards for that grade. ii. if only students with disabilities fail to make ayp while all regular education students meet the standards, the school still fails to make ayp. students with disabilities constitute a significant subgroup, and their failure to meet set targets affects the school's overall ayp status. the fact that there are 112 students in this subgroup underscores its significance. iii. similarly, if ell students, numbering 43, fail to make ayp while all other students succeed, the school would again fail to make ayp. ells are another critical subgroup, and their academic performance is crucial for the school's compliance with nclb requirements.

the key point in understanding ayp under nclb is that failure in any significant subgroup, regardless of the performance of other groups or overall student body, results in the school not achieving ayp. this approach emphasizes the importance of providing adequate educational support to all student groups, particularly those that might be at a disadvantage or have specific educational needs.

therefore, in all three scenarios (i, ii, and iii), the school fails to make adequate yearly progress because at least one significant subgroup did not meet the required academic standards. each subgroup, by the definitions and thresholds likely set by the state (which can vary but generally include any group with a minimum number of students ranging from 3 to 40), influences the ayp determination significantly. hence, the correct answer to the question would be that the school fails to make ayp in scenarios i, ii, and iii.

A 6th grade language arts teacher assigns partners and then gives each pair an index card with a saying on it.  Sayings include "It's raining cats and dogs," "He broke my heart," and "Drop Grandma a line."  The teacher asks each pair to illustrate the saying on their card as if it was literal statement.  Then she directs partners to talk about the real meaning behind the phrase when used in everyday speech.  The type of expression this teacher is introducing is ___________.





Correct Answer:
idioms
the type of expression this teacher is introducing is **idioms**.

idioms are expressions or phrases that convey a figurative, non-literal meaning which is different from the literal meanings of the words themselves. in the context of the classroom activity described, the teacher has chosen idioms such as "it's raining cats and dogs," "he broke my heart," and "drop grandma a line." each of these phrases has a figurative meaning: "it's raining cats and dogs" means it is raining very heavily, "he broke my heart" means he caused great emotional pain, and "drop grandma a line" means send grandma a message, usually through writing.

the activity involves students illustrating the sayings as if they were literal, which means drawing scenes where cats and dogs are falling from the sky, a heart being physically broken, or a line being dropped to grandma. this literal interpretation is meant to engage students' creativity and highlight the contrast between the literal and figurative meanings. after illustrating, discussing the real, figurative meanings helps students understand how idioms function in everyday language.

idioms are particularly challenging for those who are new to the language or who tend to interpret language literally, such as young children, english learners, or individuals with certain learning disabilities. this is because idioms cannot be understood by simply knowing the meanings of the individual words. teaching idioms in a visual and discussion-based context, as this teacher is doing, helps students grasp and remember the non-literal meanings more effectively.

it is important to differentiate idioms from other figures of speech such as metaphors and similes, which also make comparisons but are typically more straightforward. a metaphor directly states that one thing is another ("time is a thief"), and a simile uses "like" or "as" to compare two different things ("busy as a bee"). in contrast, idioms often involve more complex cultural or historical contexts that give rise to their figurative meanings.

thus, by engaging students with idioms through illustration and discussion, the teacher is not only enhancing their understanding of language but also their ability to engage with the cultural nuances that language encompasses.
