Do we need to do a Placement Test each time we adjust a student's level if they have received a 'struggle'?

You do not need to reassign your student’s recommended level unless you feel like the student is allocated to the wrong level based on your teaching knowledge. The struggled, maintained or excelled labels are just an indicator for the teachers to compare the students’ assigned level to their starting placement level. These labels help the teacher to see whether the students moved up or down, or simply maintained, compared to their starting Placement Level. After viewing the Placement Test results, if the teacher thinks the student has ended up in a lower reading level compared to their ability, the teacher can reassign the student to an appropriate level. Otherwise, they should remain in their assigned level for the remainder of the year.
