Answer
The TPRI should be administered to new students soon after they enter your class. For students entering your class within one to two weeks after completing BOY, MOY or EOY administration, assess the student using the same procedures used with all students at these time points. For students entering your class more than two weeks after administration is complete, the TPRI can be a helpful tool. It can provide the teacher with important information about the instructional needs of the new student. Use of this data beyond the classroom would be determined by your campus or district. Follow these guidelines during the different time points: After BOY and after EOY, do not administer the tasks on the Screening Section because screening results are reliable only during the specified administration window. Instead, begin with the first task of the Inventory Section (PA-1 at first grade, GK-1 at second grade) and then follow the Branching Rules. After MOY, assess the student using the same procedure used with all students.
