Advanced Multiple-Choice Exercise

The primary mission of NASP is to:

• Regulate school curricula

• Advance the profession of school psychology and improve the lives of students

• Conduct standardized testing

• Mediating legal disputes in education

Which of the following best describes the ethical principle of "Respect for Student Rights and Dignity"?

• Treating students equally, regardless of their background or behavior.

• Implementing consistent disciplinary procedures that balance fairness and the need for a safe learning environment.

• Prioritizing student autonomy in decision-making, while providing appropriate guidance and support.

• Fostering a positive school climate that emphasizes mutual respect and shared responsibility for behavior.

According to NASP, interventions should be:

• Evidence-based and implemented by qualified professionals

• Based on traditional methods, regardless of evidence

• Determined by student popularity

• Left to the discretion of individual teachers

Effective discipline, as emphasized by NASP, requires:

• Collaboration among schools, families, and communities

• Isolation of students who misbehave

• Secretive decision-making processes

• Unilateral actions by school administrators

Question 5: "Integrity" in disciplinary actions involves:

• Transparency and honest communication, protecting privacy.

• Consistent application of procedures, even with minor inconsistencies.

• Prioritizing authority perspectives in decision-making.

• Meticulous documentation of all actions

Ensuring equitable treatment of all students and avoiding discriminatory practices is related to which ethical principle?

• Respect for Student Rights and Dignity

• Fairness and Justice

• Integrity

• Competence

Which of the following best describes the role of the Universal Tier (Tier 1) in the three-tiered model?

• It focuses on creating a positive classroom climate with clear, consistent expectations for all students, preventing the need for more intensive interventions for most students.

• It primarily addresses the needs of students already identified as requiring specialized support, providing a foundation for more targeted interventions.

• It involves individualized interventions tailored to the specific needs of each student, regardless of their overall performance.

• It focuses on reactive discipline strategies, addressing behavioral issues only after they occur.

Adhering to NASP's ethical principles ensures that the three-tiered model is implemented:

• With a focus on individual student needs, potentially leading to variations in implementation across schools.

• In a standardized, uniform manner across all schools, ensuring consistency in outcomes.

• Ethically and effectively, although the specific methods may vary based on the unique context of each school.

• Primarily to address the needs of students with significant behavioral challenges, potentially neglecting the needs of other students.

Promoting just and equitable outcomes for all students is a direct result of:

• Ignoring ethical principles

• Following NASP's ethical principles

• Increasing teacher workload

• Decreasing parental involvement

Which of the following is NOT a valid strategy under the three-tiered model, though it might be used in practice?

• School-Wide Rules

• Positive Climate Programs

• Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Programs

• Using punitive measures as the primary intervention strategy for most students.
