| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Response to Intervention (RTI) | Refers to a students change (or lack of change) in academic performance or behavior as a result of instruction. |
| Progress monitoring | Progress monitoring assessments are frequent, quick-and-easy measures that teachers administer at regular intervals and that provide information on whether a student is learning as expected. |
| Individualized Education Program (IEP) | It is the legal document that describes the educational services a student receives. |
| Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) | It is similar to an IEP for older children, but it broadens the focus to include the family as well as the child. |
| Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) | Usually means the student should be separated from nondisabled classmates and from home, family, and community as little as possible. |
| Collaborative Consultation | Once the IEP team has determined that a student in fact has a disability, the student may receive special education services within the general education classroom through collaborative consultation. |
| Co-Teaching | Co-Teaching takes mutuality and reciprocity in collaborative consultation one step further. |
| Cooperative Learning | Is an instructional strategy that many proponents of inclusion believe is an effective way to integrate students with disabilities into groups of nondisabled peers. |
| Partial Participation | Entails having students with disabilities participate, on a reduced basis, in virtually all activities experienced by all students in the general education classroom. |
| Modifications | Usually take the form of amended materials or assignments |
| Accommodations | Include changes in instruction that don't significantly change the content or conceptual difficulty level of the curriculum. |
| Tiered Assignments | Are an example of adaptations, wherein teachers provide choices of varying difficulty for assignments on a single topic. |
