If a district adopts a delivery model that emphasizes standardized procedures and prompts for action rather than flexibility, this is an example of which category?

• A. Developmental and Adaptive
• B. Non-Prescriptive
• C. Prescriptive
• D. Collaborative

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is whether a delivery model imposes specific steps and actions rather than allowing flexibility. When procedures are standardized and there are prompts for action, the model provides a defined set of steps that educators are expected to follow with little deviation. This makes the approach prescriptive because it prescribes exactly what should be done and when, aiming for consistency and clear guidelines across different settings.

This contrasts with a developmental and adaptive approach, which focuses on growth and tailoring supports to individual learners; a non-prescriptive approach, which offers guidance but leaves much room for interpretation; and a collaborative approach, which centers on teamwork and shared decision-making. The emphasis on uniform procedures and prompts for action fits best with a prescriptive category.
