Data collection methods
MTSS (Multi-Tiered Systems of Support)
Data-Based Decision Making
UDL (Universal Design for Learning)
Bias in Assessment
100

This data collection method involves recording whether a behavior occurred during specific intervals of time.

What is interval recording?

100

This tier of MTSS provides universal support to all students.

What is Tier 1?

100

This is the first step in making data-based decisions.

What is collecting baseline data?

100

This UDL principle focuses on providing students with multiple ways to interact with and stay motivated in their learning.

What is engagement?

100

This occurs when an assessment unintentionally disadvantages certain groups of students due to cultural, linguistic, or socioeconomic factors.

What is bias?

200

This type of data collection tracks the total number of occurrences of a behavior.

What is frequency recording?

200

This MTSS framework focuses on supporting students’ academic achievement, based on how they respond to various targeted interventions.

What is RTI?

200

This type of data is collected to determine if an intervention is working as intended.

What is progress monitoring data?

200

The UDL 3.0 guidelines framework was released in this year.

What is 2024?

200

This refers to the ability to understand, appreciate, and effectively interact with people from cultures or belief systems different from one’s own.

What is cultural competence?

300

This alphabetically named method focuses on recording what happens before, during, and after a behavior.

What is ABC (Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence) recording?

300

In MTSS, this tier provides targeted interventions for small groups of students.

What is Tier 2?

300

This visual tool is commonly used to track student progress over time.

What is a progress monitoring graph?

300

Providing students with tools like graphic organizers, audio recordings, or large print materials reflects this UDL principle.

What is representation?

300

Providing materials in a family’s preferred language and offering language assistance is an example of this practice.

What is culturally responsive communication?

400

This process involves breaking down a complex skill into smaller, teachable steps for systematic instruction and analysis.

What is task analysis?

400

MTSS integrates this framework to support behavioral needs.

What is PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports)?

400

This is the process of looking at data to identify patterns and trends over time.

What is visual analysis?

400

Designing assessments that provide flexible options, such as oral presentations or hands-on demonstrations, supports this UDL principle.

What is action and expression?

400

This term emphasizes considering the overlapping identities of students, such as race, disability, and gender, in assessment practices.

What is intersectionality?

500

This data collection method focuses on evaluating the outcomes of a task, such as completed assignments or constructed items, rather than direct observation.

What is permanent product recording?

500

This MTSS component ensures that supports are adjusted based on student data

What is data-driven decision-making?

500

This data-based decision-making step involves establishing a measurable goal for improvement.

What is goal setting?

500

Unlike the traditional framework, the new UDL framework explicitly integrates this concept, which focuses on equity and addressing systemic barriers.

What is inclusion and accessibility?

500

This process encourages teachers to actively ask and listen to family perspectives and expectations about students’ goals.

What is family-centered engagement?
