Each design graph is applicable for all materials and temperatures, thus enabling a designer to evaluate the effects of different materials, temperatures, loads, end fixities, and empirical analysis constants upon the minimum weight design. Consequently, the value of, conducting this type of analysis for all types, of problem behaviors observed in school set-, tings is uncertain. We initiate the study of proper vertex connectivity in digraphs and we prove similar results as for the arc version. Applications of the use of performance-based assessments within school settings are discussed. Finally, we present polynomial-time recognition algorithms for bounded-treewidth graphs and bipartite graphs with proper edge connection number at most two. %���� Future directions for research and implications for practice are discussed, including how teacher ratings may be collected along with other forms of assessment (e.g., progress monitoring) within an efficient Tier 2 assessment model. <> Ratings were completed across three 10-min sessions, during which a research assistant also collected systematic direct observation (SDO) data regarding the same behavior and consequences.
