SHORT ANSWER

1. What are the recommended phases for family interviews?

ANS:
The following phases are still recommended today for interviews with families:
 preliminary preparation (preparation for the meeting),
 introduction (review of the purpose of the meeting),
 inventory (discussion of the information and determination of the parents’
perceptions),
 summarizing (review of the options), and
 closure (summary of what took place in the meeting).

2. In using a screening instrument, why are specificity and sensitivity important criteria?

ANS:
To avoid over- and under-referral of children with special needs.

3. Give at least two advantages and disadvantages of norm-referenced tests.

ANS:
Norm-referenced measures have certain advantages; they compare young children to other
children of the same age for eligibility purposes, report reliability and validity information,
and usually can be administered in a short period of time. A disadvantage of norm-referenced
assessment measures, particularly for children with delays or disabilities, is that the
administration of norm-referenced tests usually takes place in unfamiliar settings rather than
the natural environment. Another problem is the lack of useful information that norm-
referenced tests provide for determining functional, appropriate outcomes. Further, norm-
referenced measures often are biased against children with delays or disabilities and children
from culturally or linguistically diverse backgrounds.

4. Why is the link between assessment and curriculum a recommended practice in early
intervention and early childhood special education?

ANS:
To insure that program content is meeting the needs of the child and the concerns of the
family.

Test Bank 4-8

5. What is the purpose of program planning assessment?

ANS:
To answer a number of questions related to the child’s abilities, the desired child and family
outcomes, the types of services to be provided, and the intervention strategies to be used.

6. Give examples of measures that can be used to collect information for program and
intervention planning.

ANS:
Criterion- and curriculum-based assessment instruments are examples of measures that can be
used to collect information for program and intervention planning. Other methods include:
informal, teacher-made tests, play-based measures, observations, and interviews with family
members or other primary care providers.

7. In conducting naturalistic assessments, what is the meaning of a functional skill?

ANS:
A basic skill that is required on a frequent basis; for example eating, toileting, requesting
assistance, turn-taking.

8. What is the purpose of a summative assessment?

ANS:
The purpose of summative assessment is to summarize learning so that the program can gauge
if children as a whole have met overall program goals and outcomes.

9. What are the required criteria met by using portfolio assessment in program planning and
progress monitoring?

ANS:
It is collected over time; it relies on multiple sources of information; it collects information
from many different individuals about children’s skills; and most importantly, it collects skill
information in the setting where the child has demonstrated the skill. The information
collected is used to document progress that is being made toward the accomplishment of each
child’s individual outcomes or goals.

10. Give at least two purposes behind implementing a program evaluation.

ANS:
Answer may include any two of the following:
 To ascertain a program’s ability to achieve the originally conceived and
implemented goals
 To suggest modifications that might lead to improvement in quality and
effectiveness
 To allow well-informed decisions about the worth, merit, and the level of support a
program warrants

ESSAY

1. Differentiate between assessment conducted for screening purposes and assessment designed
to determine eligibility for services.

ANS:
Screenings are conducted to identify children who may have a delay or disability. Through
screenings, the determination is made if children should undergo more in-depth assessment
procedures. Eligibility assessments determine if children meet the requirements of a given
program or service.

2. What are some of the problems encountered in implementing traditional assessment practices?

ANS:
Answer should include: Over-reliance in the use of standardized, norm-referenced tests;
assessment measures not compatible with children’s behavior and interests; misuse of
assessment tools by professionals; standardized test should be used in conjunction with other
sources of information, and not exclusively; test results do not provide an accurate
representation of a child’s typical behavior.

TIBERIAS FROM THE SEA
FOREWORD
The number of books published regarding Palestine proves the
exhaustless fascination of the subject. Most of them, however, deal
with Western Palestine; and even of this, beyond the districts
traversed by the annual stream of tourists, comparatively little is
heard.
The lands beyond the Jordan are seldom visited. For the ordinary
sight-seer the difficulties and dangers are considerable; but these
almost entirely vanish before one who can speak the language and
is able to mingle freely with the people.
This book is an attempt to lift a little way the veil which still so largely
obscures that region, in spite of its great and splendid history; where
picturesque and beautiful scenery, the crumbling memorials of grey
antiquity, and the life of villager and nomad to-day, cast a mysterious
spell upon the spirit.
While the information given in the following pages is woven round
the narrative of a single journey, it is the outcome of frequent travel
and familiar intercourse with the peoples both east and west of
Jordan.
During a residence of over five years in Palestine the writer was
privileged often, quite alone or with a single native attendant, to visit
the peasantry and the Beduw, to share the shelter of mud hut and
goat’s-hair tent, to enjoy their abounding hospitality and friendly
converse in the medāfy, on the house-top, and around the camp-fire
in the wilderness.
What is here related regarding these strange but deeply interesting
peoples was either learned from their own lips or verified in converse
with them.
The author offers his tribute of affection and gratitude to the memory
of Dr. H. Clay Trumbull of Philadelphia, U.S.A., surely the most
generous and friendly of editors, who first moved him to write on
Oriental subjects.
For many of the photographs taken on the journey he is indebted to
his companions in travel, Rev. J. Calder Macphail, D.D., Edinburgh,
and Dr. Mackinnon of Damascus; for others, to Dr. Paterson of
Hebron and to the Committee of the Palestine Exploration Fund. He
also gratefully acknowledges assistance received from the Rev. J. E.
H. Thomson, D.D., and Oliphant Smeaton, Esq., M.A., F.S.A.,
Edinburgh.

There is a pleasant excitement in the prospect of a journey through
long-forgotten lands, where hoary age is written on dark ruin and
carved stone, which lends its influence to while away the
monotonous days of preparation. But even amid surroundings of
entrancing interest in the queenly city on the Barada, the traveller
soon grows impatient to find himself in the saddle with his friends,
heading away towards the hills that bound the green plains of
Damascus. Fortunately, we could dispense with a dragoman, often
more an imperious master than an obliging servant, and were able to
arrange our routes and carry out our programme according to our
own wishes.
Leaving the city by Bawabbat Ullah, we took the Hajj road to the
south-west. This for many centuries was, what in the southern
reaches it still is, a mere track, not always clear, and often to be kept
only by observance of landmarks. To facilitate the passage of troops
to and from Haurân, the Government had made a fairly good road
from Damascus to some distance within that province. A railway has
now been built, and is in working order as far south as Mizerîb. One
day, perhaps, it will reach the sacred cities in el-Hejaz. If this do not
greatly expedite the hâjj’s enterprise, it will at least add variety to his
peril. The first trains east of the Jordan were objects of surpassing
interest to the camels. Unaccustomed to give way to anything else
on the road, a strange mingling of curiosity and pride brought many
of these “ships of the desert” to grief.
