Which item is listed as the ninth priority in the model?

• A. Emergency/crisis intervention
• B. Classroom intervention
• C. Program development
• D. Referral to outside agencies

Answer: (B)

This item tests your grasp of how a school social work model ranks interventions from most urgent to more universal. In such models, actions start with immediate, crisis-oriented responses and safety concerns, then move to targeted supports and coordination with outside resources, and only after those steps are in place do we implement broader, classroom-based strategies that affect all students. The ninth position being classroom intervention makes sense because it represents a universal, school-wide approach to promoting a positive climate and social-emotional learning, which is important but typically addressed after the more urgent needs and targeted interventions have been established. Emergency or crisis intervention is usually a top priority because it involves immediate risk and safety. Referring students to outside agencies is chosen when in-school resources aren’t enough to meet a student’s needs. Program development is more of a system-level activity that supports the overall functioning of services. Classroom intervention, while essential, fits later in the sequence as a universal strategy applied across classrooms rather than a response to an individual crisis or a specific referral.
