If a student is identified at Level 1 or Level 2, what is the typical instructional implication?

• A. They typically need substantial support to be prepared for the next grade.
• B. They require advanced enrichment
• C. They require no additional support
• D. They should be exempt from further testing

Answer: (A)

When a student is identified at Level 1 or Level 2, the idea is to provide substantial support to build the foundational skills needed for the next grade. These levels usually indicate performance well below grade-level expectations, so teachers use intensive interventions, more guided practice, and often smaller groups to help fill gaps and strengthen core concepts before moving on. Enrichment is for students who are ready for more challenge, not those levels; no additional support would leave gaps, and exemption from testing isn’t a plan for growth. So the best approach is to give substantial, targeted help to help them reach the next grade level.
