Students who receive instruction that is appropriately targeted to their skill level are more likely to show gains in achievement. There are a variety of ways in which teachers might modify instruction or practice opportunities to meet students’ needs; however it is sometimes difficult for teachers to discern which students need additional support and which students may benefit from increased challenge.
Many of the items in this subscale are intended to provide teachers with information on the degree to which instruction and practice are aligned with students’ skill level.
The items in this domain relate to students’ present level of proficiency with academic content and the degree to which their skill may interact with the format of instruction and practice opportunities. This subscale is NOT intended to assess the preferred learning style of students.
