With the help of three teacher aides, a kindergarten teacher gives her students a standardized school readiness test on the first day of class. Given what we know about such tests, what is the best thing to do with the test results?
a. Meet with the parents of low-scoring children to ask them to consider placing their children in preschool or Head Start for the year.
b. Suggest to the principal that low-scoring children be placed in a more intensive "pre-kindergarten" class; these children would then attend kindergarten the following year.
c. Suggest to the principal that high-scoring children be placed in a first-grade class instead.
d. Use the results to form tentative hypotheses about where it would be best to begin instruction.
