C) sufficient evidence to proceed to the screening stage.
D) to convene a multidisciplinary evaluation team.

Accepted Answer

The prereferral stage is the initial step when a student is suspected of having a disability but has not yet been formally evaluated. During this stage, the team gathers information and assesses whether there is sufficient evidence to proceed to the screening stage. The team does not make a determination of IEP eligibility or the presence of a disability, and a multidisciplinary evaluation team is not convened at this stage.

A) be published in a journal.
B) be supported by the teaching community.
C) be approved by the Council for Exceptional Children.
D) be approved by independent experts in the field.

Accepted Answer

According to NCLB, a practice must be approved by independent experts in the field for it to be considered scientifically based. This means that the practice has undergone rigorous scientific research and evaluation by individuals who are recognized as experts in the relevant field. Approval by the Council for Exceptional Children or support from the teaching community are not necessarily sufficient criteria for a practice to be considered scientifically based. Similarly, while publication in a journal can be an indication that a practice has undergone scientific scrutiny, it is not a guarantee that it meets the standards for being scientifically based according to NCLB.
