Changing the Placement Level of a Student – MyPath

Use this page to edit the ILP grade placement of a student.

If it is believed the student completed their learning path, learn more about the best practices, before changing the placement of a student. When a student placement is changed to a higher grade, the system will assign lessons of the new placement. A student can be moved up to a maximum of three grades from their enrollment grade.

Frequently Asked Questions

If a student is not being challenged by the current learning path, can they be assigned the next RIT range?

Yes. Teachers can easily edit placement and place a student higher. The program will also recalibrate that student’s learning path. Eventually, teachers will be able to edit placement at the domain level as well as grade level.

When reassigning a grade level, will all the associated RIT ranges display for selection? And are RIT ranges shown for each goal area, since the MAP assessment breaks down students into goal areas?

In our new program, we are taking a slightly different approach from the current 10-point arbitrary “RIT Range” approach that Pathblazer has today. There is not a strong instructional reason why each range should span 10 points, so in our new program, we align overall Goal/Instructional Area RIT scores to grade-level expectations in each instructional area and then place students accordingly. This makes it easy for teachers to see how the NWEA scores result in instructional-level placement in our curriculum.

Can a Teacher manually edit student placement?

Yes. A Teacher can currently edit placement at the grade level only, and the program will recalibrate the student’s learning path. Adjustments can only be made three grade levels above the student's enrollment grade level.
