Once you have administered the placement assessment, you will want to consider how you will group your students.
- Use the guidance offered in the placement assessment:
- “Interpreting the Assessment Results”
- “Placement Considerations”
- Use the grade-level specific placement guidance after each section of the placement assessment.
- Complete the placement results box.
- Engage in error analysis to further support grouping.
- Consider other student information as you make decisions.
The Assessment and Placement section (in the Introduction of the Teacher’s Manual for SIPPS Third and Fourth Editions, or in the Implementation Handbook for SIPPS Fifth Edition) has additional guidance for grouping.
