Lack of educational training, familiarity, and preparedness to teach diverse Populations
A student’s behavior within a given context in the case of a literacy center
Anecdotal record
A second-grade student demonstrates difficulty identifying phonemes, so the student’s phonological processing should be evaluated first. The data collection template outlines levels of progression toward the goal
The data will demonstrate specific component skills of the target goal that the student has mastered and has yet to achieve.
Allows for sped support through collaboration between classroom teachers and service providers. The student can still receive needed support without being pulled from the classroom.

Basal score
Important, but not the most important consideration when determining a student's placement
Social benefits
In addition to providing information about typical development and various disabilities, the diag. should provide families with:
Clear steps to take if it is suspected that a child is not following the stages of development or demonstrates characteristics associated with disabilities
Recording not limited to a particular incident would yield a comprehensive account of all events taking place in a given time frame, including a child’s interactions with others in the classroom.
Descriptive narrative recording
The ability to use the sounds of the language to process spoken and written language
Phonological processing
Phonological processing
This allows students extended time or attempts in an effort to evaluate the student’s maximum abilities while completing the test
Testing the limits
Used to find out how a student is doing in basic academic areas, providing weekly information on progress, it gives specific information about a student’s progress and success, and the instructional methods being used are data-specific to the student’s individual goals and objectives.
