Praxis Special Education: Planning and the Learning Environment

1.Mateo is 4. His individual plan says he will get better at talking. Which replacement goal can a teacher observe during play?

2.Aisha is in grade 2. A check shows she reads first-grade passages at 35 correct words a minute. A draft goal says she will read high-school novels. What should guide the new goal?

3.Luis is in grade 5. The team wants one fraction goal that states the situation, the action, and how much is enough. Which sentence does that?

4.Priya is in grade 8. Her writing goal says she will become a better writer. The teacher cannot tell when to mark it met. What is the planning problem?

5.Noah is in grade 4. On a comprehension check he reads the same passages and answers the same questions as the class. He receives 20 extra minutes because his reading rate is slow. What is that change?

6.Elena is in grade 6. The science objective is to explain evaporation and condensation with grade-level words. She cannot decode the textbook. Which change drops that science target?

7.Jonah is in grade 3. The check measures whether he can decode nonsense words. A teammate wants every item read aloud to him. What is the planning problem?

8.Samira is in grade 7. The class solves 20 two-step equations. Her plan assigns 10 of the same kind so she can finish and show the method. What is that change?

9.Hana is 4. Her goal is to ask a classmate for a toy with words or a picture. Where should the team plan the teaching?

10.Devon is in grade 9. He solves one-step equations when a calculator covers slow fact recall. The algebra target is solving linear equations. What should the goal name, and where does the calculator go?

11.Malik is in grade 11 and has a significant cognitive disability. A draft goal says he will be exposed to community signs. Which replacement can the team teach and check?

12.Owen is in grade 1. The present description lists only skills he cannot do. His teacher knows he loves trucks and can match pictures. What is missing from the plan?

14.Ben is in grade 5. This essay is scored for ideas and organization. Spelling is a separate goal with its own practice. What should the essay rubric do?

15.Rosa is in grade 4. The standard is to describe how a local rule is made. With a word bank she can dictate those steps. A draft task has her color a building instead. What is coloring, in this plan?
