Waterford Early Learning: Resetting Placement for Individual Students
Teachers can reset placement exams for individual students. This is typically done after a long break to reassess where students are in the program. The students will take another placement exam and will be placed at the appropriate level.
Resetting placement exams will unassign the students from their current placement in the selected Waterford curriculum, allowing them to retake the placement test.
It will not erase learning data collected, including dashboards and reports, and will not erase SmartStart data.
To reset placement exams for individual students:
- Visit the Courses & Goals tab.
- Select “Students” under the view filter.
- Select the drop-down for the student whose placement needs to be adjusted.
- Select the courses that you would like to reset the placement exam for (Reading and/or Math and Science).
- Select “Goals & Settings”
- Select the “Current Level” drop-down.
- Select “Placement”
This action cannot be undone. After you save your changes, the Placement will be updated each night.
- Select Save.
