Scenario:  Mr. Patel teaches in a district where a large number of students qualify as gifted and talented, but the school provides very few enrichment or acceleration opportunities. Several parents express frustration that their children’s needs are not being met, even though they technically fall under “exceptional children” in special education.  Question:  Which conclusion best reflects this situation?

Scenario:  During a professional development session on teaching students who are deaf or hard of hearing, the facilitator asks teachers to consider literacy challenges. She explains that despite average intelligence, many deaf students graduate without the same reading skills as their hearing peers due to factors such as delayed language exposure, limited access to incidental learning, and uneven instructional practices.  Teachers share their assumptions:  Mr. Brown guesses that the average deaf student leaves high school reading at about the 10th-grade level.  Ms. Johnson suggests it is closer to the 8th-grade level.  Mr. Lee argues it is only around the 4th-grade level.  Ms. Patel believes it is as low as the 2nd-grade level.  The facilitator then asks: “Research shows that on average, at what grade level do deaf students read upon leaving school at age 18?” (6) 

Scenario:  Maria, a bright 9-year-old, struggles with word decoding and spelling despite receiving strong family support and consistent classroom instruction. Her teacher suggests she is simply “lazy” and unmotivated.  Which evaluation most accurately explains Maria’s challenges? (5)
