Differentiated Instruction Test Questions
Course Introduction
Differentiated Instruction is a dynamic educational approach focused on tailoring teaching methods, learning activities, and assessments to meet the diverse needs, interests, and abilities of all students. This course examines various strategies for identifying individual learning profiles and designing lessons that accommodate varied readiness levels, learning styles, and backgrounds. Through theoretical foundations, practical applications, and case studies, students will explore how to implement flexible grouping, modify content, process, and product, and use ongoing assessment to inform instruction.

Q1) Discuss the relationship between litigation and legislation using the case of Hudson v. Rowley to illustrate the relationship.
Answer: Legislation involves making laws while litigation involves interpreting what the laws require in practice. In the case of Hudson v. Rowley, Amy Rowley's parents contended that an "appropriate public education" (as included under IDEA legislation)would allow her to achieve her maximum potential and that she could better do that if she were provided with a sign language interpreter in the classroom. In litigation, the court decided that the school had fulfilled its obligation to provide an appropriate education by designing an individualized program for Amy and that "appropriate" does not necessarily mean education that will produce maximum possible achievement.
Q2) Effective national parents' organizations have existed in the United States only since about 1950.
A)True

Q1) Discuss the effect of recent legislation on (a)early intervention and (b)transition.
Answer: Federal laws require that services be available to infants and toddlers who are identified as having disabilities and that an individualized family service plan (IFSP)be developed (similar to an IEP). Regulations stipulate that the family be involved in the development of the IFSP. Federal laws, including IDEA require that transition plans be included within older students' IEPs. The legislation recognizes that transition involves more than just employment. Such legislation has led to improved services, sometimes first-ever services, for a huge number of individuals, expanding the ages of people eligible to receive services from birth to age 21.
Q2) In collaborative consultation, the special education teacher
A)teaches students with disabilities in the regular classroom.
B)acts as an expert in providing advice to the regular education teacher.
