What is the early academic assessment called that identifies students experiencing difficulties in a Tier 1 program?

  1. Universal design

  2. Universal screening

  3. Criterion-based assessments

  4. Norm-based assessments

The correct answer is: Universal screening

The early academic assessment that identifies students experiencing difficulties in a Tier 1 program is known as universal screening. This process is essential in educational settings to monitor student progress and performance, allowing educators to detect those who may need additional support early on. Universal screening is typically conducted for all students within a certain grade level or class to establish a baseline of their academic abilities, as well as any potential learning difficulties. By implementing universal screening, schools aim to ensure that they can identify students at risk of falling behind before they do so, enabling timely interventions. This proactive approach is aligned with the principles of a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), where early identification and support can lead to better educational outcomes for students.
