Overall, this student achieved the Intermediate proficiency level (Level 2); therefore, the student continues to receive TBIP services.

The student showed strength in Reading (at Level 2 and is close to Level 3), but is not at Level 4 (Transitional) yet. The student needs considerable support in Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing (all at Levels 1 and 2).


Performance definitions at the back of the Student Proficiency Report help you understand the meaning of each proficiency level.

One set of the PLD Translations document is provided for nine languages and is included in the School package.

More details about the test and proficiency levels can be found in the Interpretation Guide.


This group (class) has 25 students in total. The class mean scale score, or MSS, is within the Level 3 (Advanced) range for Listening and Reading, and is within the Level 1 (Beginning) range for Writing. Improvement in these three language domains should be considered in future instructional planning.


Within a group (class), students may show different performance patterns across domains. Using domain-level proficiency information may help the teacher not only target instruction based on the relative strengths and weaknesses of each student but also divide students into smaller groups for differentiated instruction or class activities.
