narcissistic personality disorder

Personality disorder characterized by grandiosity and a need to be perfect.

An individual with such a disorder believes that her happiness is the responsibility of others and that she has a right to get anything desired. As a result, she may exhibit inappropriate behavior in the face of disappointment. Nevertheless, a student with such a disorder may not be IDEA-eligible. For example, the hearing officer in Murrieta Valley Unified School District , 23 IDELR 997 (SEA CA 1995), found that a 15-year-old student with a diagnosed narcissistic personality disorder met none of the five possible criteria for a serious emotional disturbance under IDEA regulations at 34 CFR Sec. 300.7(b)(9) (now 34 CFR 300.8(c)(4)), even though he experienced several episodes of violent behavior and "psychotic breaks" at home at times when he felt thwarted or frustrated. See also W.G. and M.G. v. New York City Dep't of Educ. , 56 IDELR 260 (S.D.N.Y. 2011).

narrative recording

An observational recording method for the systematic observation of behavior in which the trained observer records all the child's behaviors or actions during the unit of time in which his behavior is being observed. See also running record .

The objective of narrative recording is to fully describe the child's behavior without resorting to quantitative recording procedures.

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)

Federally supported program that tracks the performance of American students and produces a national survey of students' achievements over time, known as the nation's "report card." NAEP assessments are administered uniformly across the nation. The NAEP results serve as a common metric for all states and selected urban districts. Paper-and-pencil assessments are conducted periodically in mathematics, reading, science, writing, the arts, civics, economics, geography, U.S. history, and in technology and engineering literacy. In 2017, NAEP will begin administering digitally based assessments for mathematics, reading, and writing, with additional subjects added in 2018 and 2019.
