After completing digital assessments in the 95 Literacy Intervention System™ (LIS), data is compiled to group students with similar assessment results.
The Groups page’s Intervention Plans tab features a power grid that serves as your school’s collaborative grouping space, streamlining intervention planning and the start of multiple concurrent intervention cycles throughout the school year.
This tab works alongside the Groups page’s Active Groups tab to facilitate grouping, group visibility, and Tier 2 services. To learn more about the Active Groups tab, reference our article on Groups | Active Groups Page.
Access the Intervention Plans tab by selecting Groups from the navigation panel and clicking Intervention Plans in the menu at the top of the page. Contact your main district contact if you need to work on grouping and cannot access the Groups page.
95 Literacy Intervention System
If your district has the 95 Literacy Intervention System (LIS) enabled in the One95 platform, the Groups page will be available to users with this access permission.
Contact your main district contact to learn more about the LIS.
Intervention Plans Overview
The Intervention Plans tab streamlines the planning and execution of multiple intervention plans and cycles running concurrently in your school throughout the year. Intervention plans allow for independent cycles, with each three-week regrouping process constituting a new cycle in the plan.
The process begins by selecting a plan to regroup. Next, several automated grouping options are presented in an automate step. Then, new students can be adjusted on a customize page by sorting, filtering, and moving students from a power grid of students that displays their most recent Phonological Awareness for Intervention™ (PASI) or Phonics Screener for Intervention™ (PSI) skill scores into best-fit intervention groups.
This dynamic planning area organizes every student in the plan grade level(s) that has been administered at least one saved PASI or PSI assessment below proficiency or is assigned to any of the active Tier 2 groups in the school into a flexible, sortable power grid. It provides a safe space to create and manage groups, easily moving students in and out of them as changes are automatically saved, without affecting current active groupings.
The power grid facilitates the ability to see skill-gap patterns and is designed to be used collaboratively. Colleagues within your school with access to this feature can view and make changes to groups in this collaborative shared workspace. As such, it is advisable to complete grouping activities together during a professional learning community or protocol-type meeting.
There are three steps to activating a new intervention plan cycle: selecting a plan, choosing the automated grouping method, and regrouping. Each function is completed within the Select, Automate, and Customize subtabs, respectively.
Users with access to the Intervention Plans tab can access all subtabs.
Select Subtab
The Select subtab displays the school’s intervention plans as selectable tiles for planning or regrouping. These tiles provide information about the plan, such as plan status and cycle count (i.e., the number of times the plan has been cycled). From here, users can choose to create new plans spanning one or multiple grades or close existing plans by deleting them.
It is advisable to regroup plans for each cycle rather than delete a plan and create a new one to maintain the plan’s intervention history. Plans can be renamed to reflect the cycle if desired on the Automate and Customize subtabs.
Automate Subtab
The Automate subtab is where your school selects each intervention plan cycle’s automated grouping method. Selecting an automated grouping method determines how the initial intervention groups and group participation are surfaced by the system.
The LIS offers three methods of automated grouping to accommodate different approaches for different schools, depending on which best fits your intervention process. Two Manual-Start methods consider your school’s existing Tier 2 groups, and a third Automated-Start method offers an automated algorithm to take a first pass at group creation.
In the first cycle of each plan, the Manual-Start grouping method options differ since there are no related active groups yet. Educators can choose to build Tier 2 groups and student associations from scratch or allow the system to take a first pass via the Automated-Start option.
Customize Subtab
Depending on your automated grouping selection, the Customize subtab takes forward the information entered in the Automate subtab and displays a carousel of Tier 2 groups that either carried over from the Active Groups tab or were created via the automated algorithm. The carousel will be empty if the Manual-Start option was selected during the first plan cycle.
The Customize subtab also contains the power grid of all students assessed, pre-grouped, and sorted according to their most recent PASI or PSI assessment data. Within the power grid, you can filter students by grade, filter out students that have already been grouped, sort students by skills data, expand each skill to analyze their subskills, and move students into groups by dragging and dropping them.
Each automated grouping method is intended to be a starting place for grouping workflows. The LIS was designed to help educators leverage automation while also recognizing that educators ultimately know their students best. For example, the system may not recognize that two students do not work well together, even though they both indicate they need help in the same phonics subskill area. The power grid makes it easy to apply educator insights on top of efficient automation.
Grouping Settings
One95 Administrators have exclusive access to the Settings page where platform settings are configured.
- The Environment tab controls platform-wide defaults for the LIS.
- The Roles tab provides user role permissions visibility and management.
These settings drive the behavior of the Groups page.
Environment Tab
The Environment tab determines your district’s grouping settings. From here, One95 Administrators set the recommended maximum number of concurrent groups and the maximum number of students per group type in each school.
These settings default into group creation workflows within the LIS and help maintain best practices for intervention support.
The system notifies users mid-grouping if the maximum number of concurrent groups and the maximum number of students per group is reached. Users can choose to override these notational messages on a case-by-case basis.
To learn more about the Environment tab, reference our article on Settings | Environment Page.
Roles Tab
The Roles tab determines whether each user role can access the functions within the Groups page.
There are two tabs within the Groups page: Active Groups and Intervention Plans.
Permissions to each function are separate, meaning that users may have access to one, both, or neither based on the configurations outlined in the Roles tab.
One95 Administrators should ensure that for any user roles they would like to manage groups, the appropriate checkboxes within the Groups checkbox are marked.
To learn more about roles, reference our article on Settings | Roles Page.
Data Visibility
Group and student data visibility within the Intervention Plans tab is driven by the scope of student data permitted to be displayed and accessed by each role.
Groups
All Tier 2 groups in the plan are available for updating in subsequent plan cycles.
Classroom (i.e., Tier 1) groups and intensive instruction (i.e., Tier 3) groups are not included in automated grouping, since these types of groups typically have different lifecycles.
Note: This is applicable for the Manual-Start automated grouping methods. The Automated-Start method creates Tier 2 groups from scratch.
Students
Each user can view all students in the plan grade level(s) that has been administered at least one saved PASI or PSI assessment below proficiency or is assigned to any of the Tier 2 groups in the school.
Select Subtab
Select existing intervention plans for regrouping and create new plans in the Select subtab.
By default, the Update Existing Plan section will be empty, indicating that your school has not yet created an intervention plan.
Once created, plans will appear here, with the most recent ones listed first.
Existing Plans
Select an existing intervention plan from the Update Existing Plan section to finish grouping or to regroup for the next cycle.
Plan Tiles
The school’s intervention plans will be displayed as tiles.
The plan name is displayed at the top of the tile alongside the following information.
Start Date
The Start Date field indicates the date on which the plan cycle was activated.
- Plans in the Planning status will indicate the start date as “Not Started.”
- Plans in the Active status will indicate the date on which the cycle was activated in MM/DD/YY format.
- Plans in the Planning status with an active cycle will indicate the date on which the latest cycle was activated. The date will be updated once the new cycle has been activated.
Created By
The Created By field indicates the name of the user who created the plan.
Status
There are two plan statuses: Planning and Active.
- The Planning status indicates a plan that has not yet been activated. Educators are currently reviewing and updating student group distributions.
- The Active status indicates a plan that has been activated. Educators have completed planning and launched the cycle in the school.
Note that it is possible to have an active plan cycle while planning the next cycle. Educators determine the length of each intervention plan cycle by activating a new one.
Cycle Count
The Cycle Count field indicates the number of times the plan has been cycled. This number tracks each time educators regrouped and activated the cycle.
The cycle count begins at zero and increases by one each time the plan is activated.
GROUPS
The GROUPS box indicates the number of groups involved in the plan.
Progress Bar
The progress bar visualizes the capacity available within the intervention plan.
- The Seats number indicates the total number of available seats in the plan.
- The Students number indicates the number of allocated seats in the plan.
Opening Plans
Users can select existing plans to continue grouping or to regroup students.
To open a plan, click the button alongside the plan name and click Open Selected Plan.
You will arrive at the Automate subtab.
Deleting Plans
Users can delete plans at any time.
To delete a plan, click the button alongside the plan name and click Delete This Plan.
After confirmation, the plan will be deleted. The related Tier 2 groups will be deleted from the Active Groups tab, and associated students will be removed.
The end date of the current Tier 2 group row within the students’ Student Details page’s Intervention Group Participation table will reflect the date the group was deleted.
Additionally:
- The student information at the top of the students’ Student Details page will not reflect group participation related to the deleted plan.
- Student info cards within the Active Groups tab and the Today page’s My Students tab will not reflect group participation related to the deleted plan.
- The 95 Phonics Lesson Library™ 2.0 (PLL 2.0) dashboard within the Assign Student Activities page will not reflect group participation within the GROUP column.
It is advisable to regroup plans for each cycle rather than delete a plan and create a new one to maintain the plan's intervention history. Plans can be renamed to reflect the cycle if desired on the Automate and Customize subtabs.New Plans
Create new intervention plans spanning one or multiple grades from the Create a New Plan section.
There are two fields to complete: Name Your Plan and Select Grade Level.
Name Your Plan
Enter the plan name in the Name Your Plan field. Plan names are visible to all users with access to the function.
This is a required field.
Select Grade Level
Select the grade level(s) related to the intervention plan in the Select Grade Level drop-down by marking one or more checkboxes.
This is a required field.
The grade(s) selected here determine the students considered in the fully automated grouping method and the students displayed in the power grid.
Note: The available grades are synchronized with your district’s rostering platform.
Click Create New Plan once complete.
Once this button is selected, the intervention plan will be created with a Planning status, and available as a tile in the Select subtab.
You will arrive at the Automate subtab.
Automate Subtab
Determine the automated grouping method for each plan cycle in the Automate subtab.
Automated grouping methods determine how the initial intervention groups and group participation are surfaced by the system.
To rename the cycle without leaving the Automate subtab, click the EDIT button alongside the plan name in the upper left-hand corner.
Enter the new cycle name in the field.
Click the green checkmark icon once complete. Name changes are visible to all users with access to the function.
The numbers below the plan name indicate the grade(s) selected during plan creation.
Grouping Methods
Select from one of the automated grouping methods by clicking the button next to an option within the Grouping Method section.
This selection allows educators to choose the approach that best fits their school’s multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) or literacy intervention process approach.
There are two grouping method types: Manual-Start and Automated-Start.
Manual-Start
The Manual-Start options give educators more control over how to start building new groups for the next planning cycle.
First Cycle
In the first cycle of each plan, the Manual-Start grouping method options differ since there are no related active groups yet. Educators can choose to build Tier 2 groups and student assignments from scratch or allow the system to take a first pass via the Automated-Start option.
Subsequent Cycles
Once the first cycle has been activated, educators can choose to keep current groups and students or current groups only while clearing student assignments.
- Selecting Keep current groups and students carries over Tier 2 groups and students in the plan from the Active Groups tab.
- Selecting Keep current groups only and clear students carries over Tier 2 groups in the plan while clearing group assignments from the Active Groups tab.
Automated-Start
The Automated-Start option adds an additional layer of grouping automation by letting the system take a first pass at creating new intervention groups.
Selecting Clear Tier 2 Groups & Students allows your school to start from a clean slate and automate initial intervention grouping. The automated algorithm considers each student’s most recent PASI or PSI scores at the skill and subskill level and your school-defined parameters.
This option may be appropriate if your school’s intervention cycles change every three weeks according to your district's preferred MTSS standard intervention period.
Because the Automated-Start option involves selecting a subset of skills for the automated grouping algorithm, Tier 2 groups in your school not brought over from the Active Groups tab as part of the intervention cycle are closed upon cycle activation. If your school is running multiple intervention cycles simultaneously, it is advisable to continue leveraging the Manual-Start options to carry over Tier 2 groups in the school.
After clicking the Automated-Start button, a set of grouping parameters will populate. These parameters tell the system how it should consider existing groups and student data.
To help understand the extent of students who may need extra help, the system retrieves students in the plan grade level(s) who are in each skill group based on their latest saved PASI or PSI assessment.
Complete the fields as follows.
1. Maximum Number of Groups
Confirm the maximum number of intervention groups in the Maximum number of groups field.
This number defaults to the number configured by your district’s One95 Administrators for grouping best practices.
Override this setting by inputting a new number. For example, the number could fluctuate based on the time of year and the number of group leaders available.
This is a required field.
Note: There is a maximum of 200 concurrent groups per school.
2. Maximum Students per Group
Confirm the maximum number of students per group in the Maximum students per group field.
This number defaults to the number configured by your district’s One95 Administrators for grouping best practices.
Override this setting by inputting a new number.
This is a required field.
Note: There is a maximum of 12 students for Tier 2 groups. You will be able to manually overfill groups in the grouping sandbox if you choose to do so.
3. Filling Groups
Determine whether groups should be filled from the lowest skill with no proficiency or the highest skill with no proficiency first by clicking the Fill Groups Lowest Skill First or Fill Groups Highest Skill First buttons, respectively.
This parameter helps the automated distribution algorithm prioritize filling groups and is useful in situations where you have more students who need assistance than group leader resources to lead intervention activities.
The Fill Groups Lowest Skill First button is selected by default.
This is a required field.
The Fill Groups Lowest Skill First option fills in groups based on students’ latest PASI or PSI assessment results from the lowest skill with no proficiency (e.g., Skill PA1) selected by the user to the highest skill with no proficiency (e.g., Skill P15).
This means that students will first be grouped by Skills PA1 through PA11, then Skill P1, Skill P2, and then subskills 2.1, 2.2, and so on until Skill P15. For example, if you mark the P3, P6, and P11 checkboxes in the following step, then students will be distributed into groups in that order.
The Fill Groups Highest Skill First option fills in groups based on students’ latest PASI or PSI assessment results from the highest skill with no proficiency (e.g., Skill P15) selected by the user to the lowest skill with no proficiency (e.g., Skill PA1).
This means that students will first be grouped by Skill P15, then Skill P14, and so on until Skill PA1. For example, if you mark the P3, P6, and P11 checkboxes in the following step, then students will be distributed into groups first by P11, then P6, and finally P3.
Within the automated algorithm, each option starts by creating a group for the lowest or highest skill selected. The group is filled with students who have the lowest scores (if Skills PA1 through PA11 and P1 or Skill P10 through P15) or the highest number of errors (if Skill P2 through Skill P9) until the maximum number of students per group is reached.
Once there are no remaining students below proficiency in a skill, the algorithm moves on to consider students in the next highest skill.
- If the maximum number of students per group is reached and there are remaining students below proficiency, another skill group will be created. Additional skill groups cannot be created if the maximum number of concurrent groups is reached.
- If the maximum number of concurrent groups is reached and there are remaining students below proficiency for one or many selected skills, waitlist groups are created for each skill from lowest to highest to include all the remaining students below benchmark.
Waitlist groups serve as a holding place for ungrouped students. After the cycle has been activated, students from the waitlist can immediately be moved into active groups from the Active Groups tab as seats become available.
Note:
- Students cannot be waitlisted while actively participating in Tier 2 groups.
- Waitlist groups are the only Tier 2 group that may contain more than 12 students.
4. Student Skill Inclusion
Determine which skill groups should be considered in the automated algorithm by selecting one or more skill cards.
The cards summarize the number of students in the plan grade level(s) who are in each skill group based on their latest saved PASI or PSI. Cards are grayed out if there is not at least one student below proficiency. Cards exclude students if they are already grouped in another plan.
The card selections determine which skill groups actively contain students below proficiency for consideration. Note that all eligible students will be brought over to the power grid, but the distribution algorithm for grouping students will only consider these skill groups.
Skills PA1-PA11
Each checkbox summarizes how many students are not proficient at the skill and received an assessment score of less than 80%.
Skill P1 and Skills P10-P15
Each checkbox summarizes how many students are not proficient at the skill and received an assessment score of less than 90%.
Skills P2-P9
Each checkbox summarizes how many students are not proficient at the skill (i.e., received an assessment score of less than 90%) and received at least one subskill error in the pseudoword section of the assessments.
Note:
- If a student is not proficient at more than one skill, the same student will be counted within each skill. This means the total number of non-proficient students in the marked checkboxes will not equal the total number of students displayed in the power grid.
- Checkbox selection does not limit or affect the skills data displayed in the power grid.
This is a required field.
Automate Actions
The Automate subtab workflow differs between new and existing plans.
During plan creation, users will select Apply Changes & Continue to apply changes to be used in the new cycle and proceed to the power grid.
After opening plans in the Active status, users will select Apply Changes & Continue to apply changes to be used for regrouping in the new cycle and proceed to the power grid.
After opening plans in the Planning status, users should only select Apply Changes & Continue to restart the plan and any progress made in the power grid. To retain the current groupings, users must select Skip & Continue to Customize.
Customize Subtab
The Customize subtab displays the power grid and shared grouping space for the plan’s next intervention cycle.
To rename the cycle without leaving the Customize subtab, click the EDIT button alongside the plan name in the upper left-hand corner.
Enter the new cycle name in the field.
Click the green checkmark icon once complete. Name changes are visible to all users with access to the function.
Group Carousel
The group carousel at the top of the page displays intervention groups for setup in the plan's next intervention cycle.
The group carousel is displayed from left to right, starting with the lowest skill group (i.e., PA1) to the highest skill group (i.e., P15.3). If multiple skill groups exist in the school, they are sorted alphabetically by group name.
Click on the right and left arrow icons to advance the carousel forward or backward through Tier 2 groups.
Manual-Start
If this is the first plan cycle and the Manual-Start automated grouping method was selected, the group carousel will be empty.
If this is a subsequent plan cycle and either of the Manual-Start automated grouping methods were selected, the groups displayed in the carousel were carried over from the plan’s current set of active groups in the Active Groups tab.
- If the first Manual-Start option was selected, students associated with these groups were also carried over from the Active Groups tab.
- If the second Manual-Start option was selected, students associated with each group were cleared when groups carried over from the Active Groups tab. Note that these group associations were cleared only in the Customize subtab – currently active groups did not change.
Group details and student associations in the Customize subtab can be modified at any time and do not impact currently active groupings. Group details and student associations made in the Active Groups tab after setting up the new cycle will not be reflected in the Customize subtab unless you choose to update it.
Note:
- It is best practice to work through planning sessions and not let the planning sandbox sit without update or activation for too long. If you are returning to the planning sandbox after an extended period, the likelihood that manual adjustments have been made to groups or students increases.
- The carousel may reflect additional Tier 2 groups created within the planning sandbox. Groups carried over from the Active Groups tab may include group details and student participation modifications or be removed entirely.
Automated-Start
If the Automated-Start automated grouping method was selected, the groups displayed in the carousel were created by the automated algorithm based on your school’s Automate subtab parameters.
- The number of groups reflects the Maximum number of groups field value.
- The starting skill for each group reflects the skills selected via the cards.
- The number of students in each group reflects the Maximum students per group field value.
By default, system-suggested groups in the carousel are:
- Named by the starting skill
- Led by the user who set up the cycle plan
- Tier 2
- Walk-to-Intervention
- Not assigned group symbols
- Assigned blue group colors
- Not assigned resources
Group name formatting is as follows: Skill_Group Number (e.g., P14_1). If multiple groups are created for the same skill, skill groups are numbered in ascending order.
Depending on whether ungrouped students with skills failed in the PASI or PSI diagnostic assessments remained after your school hit the maximum number of groups limit, waitlist groups may have been created. Waitlist group name formatting is as follows: Skill_Waitlist (e.g., P14_Waitlist).
System-suggested groups are intended to facilitate grouping by providing a starting point. As part of the grouping process, refine group names and attributes according to new instructional focus areas and adjust students in groups as appropriate.
Group details and student participation can be modified at any time.
Group Tiles
Each group tile in the carousel displays the group’s targeted skill or subskill at the top of the tile, followed by the group symbol (if any), and the group name.
View group details by clicking the group tile. After selection, a group banner will populate below the carousel. The banner color is determined by the group color.
Group banners display the group symbol (if any), name, starting skill or subskill, type (i.e., Tier 2), location or grade, leader, and student participants.
Circle icons represent the total number of seats available in each group.
- Filled seats are indicated by student names alongside circle icons.
- Available seats are indicated by the Available circle icons.
The total number of seats available per group differs based on the automated grouping method selected.
- If the Manual-Start grouping methods were selected, the total number of seats available per group is determined by your district’s One95 Administrators for grouping best practices. Note that this number may have been overridden.
- If the Automated-Start grouping method was selected, the total number of seats available per group is determined by the Maximum students per group field in the Automate subtab. Note that this number may have been overridden.
Note: There is a maximum of 12 students for Tier 2 groups.
Creating Groups
Click + CREATE A GROUP in the group carousel to create a new Tier 2 group.
Schools that have selected the Automated-Start option should ensure they account for any Tier 2 groups not carried over from the Active Groups tab, as they will be closed upon cycle activation.
Complete the Create New Group modal as follows.
Group Name
Group names are how the group will be identified within the LIS. They are typically based on the targeted skill deficit (e.g., Skill P1) or capture persistent names that represent different intervention leaders or areas within the school.
As an example, the group name can capture a persistent group that may cover different skills over time, such as Blue Crew. It can also be based on the educator who is leading the group.
It is advisable to include the grade level and the educator's name when naming groups to facilitate group identification.
Enter the group name in the Group Name field.
This is a required field.
Group Leader
Group leaders oversee the group and provide intervention.
To assign yourself as the group leader, leave the default group leader as your username within the Group Leader drop-down.
To assign the group leader to another educator, select their name from the drop-down. Group leaders must be One95 platform users to be eligible.
This is a required field.
Type of Group
The group type is how the group is categorized: Classroom, Tier 2, or Tier 3.
The Type of Group drop-down will be grayed out as groups created within the Intervention Plans tab can only be Tier 2 groups.
Note: Create Classroom and Tier 3 groups within the Active Groups tab.
Location
Locations are the locations or grades in which the group is based.
Select the group’s location or grade from the Location drop-down.
This is a required field.
Note: The available grades are synchronized with your district’s rostering platform.
Group Shape
Determine how the group should be represented within the LIS by assigning a group symbol. Adding group symbols helps organize and manage groups but is not required.
This allows you to visually identify the group as you navigate the platform and quickly distinguish which students are receiving what type of additional help.
Select an animal or shape from the Group Shape drop-down.
Group Color
Determine how the group should be represented within the LIS by assigning a group color.
This allows you to visually identify the group as you navigate the platform and quickly distinguish which students are receiving what type of additional help.
Select a color from the Group Color drop-down.
This is a required field.
Starting Skill
Select the group’s targeted skill or subskill from the Starting Skill drop-down.
Choose from PASI skills, PSI skills, and Phonics Lesson Library™ (PLL) subskills.
If there is more than one targeted skill, select Multiple. If the group’s targeted skill is to be determined or involves resources outside the One95 platform, select Custom.
This is a required field.
Resources
Optionally, enter the resources the group will be leveraging within the Resources field.
For example, the group may be using the PLL to target skill deficits.
Max Students
The number in the Max Students field defaults to the number configured by your district’s One95 Administrators for grouping best practices.
Override this setting by inputting a new number.
This is a required field.
Note: There is a maximum of 12 students for Tier 2 groups.
Click Create once complete.
The new group will be available in the carousel to begin adding students.
Maximum Number of Groups Alert
After clicking Create, you may receive an alert that creating another group will exceed the recommended maximum number of concurrent groups.
This informational message is based on your district’s One95 Administrator settings for grouping best practices.
Override this setting by clicking Confirm Group Creation.
Note: There is a maximum of 200 concurrent groups per school.
Modifying Groups
Groups can be modified or deleted at any time.
To modify group details or delete a group entirely, click the group tile within the carousel.
Next, click the edit icon in the upper right-hand corner of the group banner.
Editing Groups
Click the pencil icon to edit the group.
The Type of Group drop-down will be grayed out as groups created within the Intervention Plans tab can only be Tier 2 groups.
Note: There is a maximum of 12 students for Tier 2 groups.
Click Save once complete.
Deleting Groups
Click the trash icon to delete the group.
By deleting a group, all students involved in the group will be removed. This action cannot be undone.
Click Delete This Group to confirm the group’s deletion.
Power Grid
The power grid lists every student in the plan grade level(s) that has been administered at least one saved PASI or PSI assessment below proficiency or is assigned to any of the active Tier 2 groups in the school, displaying a skill continuum with each column representing a skill.
Scroll up and down using your mouse and sideways using the table’s arrow icons to view all assessments and results.
The table's columns are labeled PA1 through PA11 and P1 through P15. These columns represent the 11 PASI skills and 15 PSI skills, respectively. Note that PLL subskills are aligned to each PSI skill.
Drill down and expand subskill results by clicking the triangle icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the PSI skill columns. This shows the error count obtained by each subskill associated with the skill’s pseudowords.
Click the triangle icon again to hide the subskill errors.
Hover over the columns to view the skill and subskill names. Look down on each column to view the student’s scores.
Read the assessment results horizontally to view the skills completed in each student’s latest PASI or PSI assessment administration.
Reference the assessment scores within the score cells. These scores indicate the number of prompt words the student scored correctly.
Score colors are an indicator of the student’s mastery.
PASI Assessments
- Green scores represent a mastery of 80% or better (i.e., a score of 4 or above).
- Orange scores represent a mastery of 60-79% (i.e., a score of 3).
- Red scores represent a mastery of below 60% (i.e., a score of 2 or below).
PSI Assessments
- Green score cells indicate a mastery of 90% or better.
- Yellow score cells indicate a mastery of 70-89%.
- Red score cells indicate a mastery of below 70%.
Students
Reference student details in the left-hand power grid columns.
Students Column
The leftmost STUDENTS column displays the names of students available to you. The number of students displayed is indicated by the number next to the column name.
Grouped students in the current plan are listed before ungrouped students.
- Grouped students are sorted alphabetically by group name, then by last name, then by first name.
- Ungrouped students are sorted alphabetically by last name, then by first name.
Students are grayed out if they are already involved in an active Tier 2 group in the school. To include these students in the plan, remove them from the group in the Active Groups tab.
Contact your main district contact if you cannot view students in your class or care.
Groups Column
View each student’s Tier 2 group participation in the current plan in the GROUPS column.
Hover over the cell to view the full group name(s) if needed.
Grade Column
View each student’s grade in the GRADE column.
Assessed Column
View the date on which each student’s latest saved PASI or PSI assessment was administered in MM/DD/YY format in the ASSESSED column.
Sorting
Sort students by clicking the columns in the power grid.
- Clicking the STUDENTS column sorts students by last name in ascending or descending alphabetical order.
- Clicking the GROUPS column sorts students by group name in ascending or descending alphabetical order.
- Clicking the GRADE column sorts students by grade in ascending or descending numerical order.
- Clicking the ASSESSED column sorts students by their latest assessment in ascending or descending date order.
- Clicking the skill and subskill columns sorts students by proficiency in ascending or descending order.
Filtering
Filter students by using the filtering options above the power grid. Filters can be used in conjunction with one another and the search bar. Leverage as many or as few filters as necessary.
Grade Filtering
By default, the power grid displays eligible students within the grade(s) selected during plan creation.
Filter students by the plan grade level(s) by clicking + Add More Filters.
From there, mark one or many checkboxes next to the grades you would like to filter students.
Click FILTER once complete. The power grid will be filtered according to your preferences.
- Remove individual filters by clicking the X icons within the grade filters.
- Remove all filters by clicking X Clear All Grades.
- Add additional filters by clicking + Add More Filters and repeating the process above.
Toggles
Hiding Grouped Students
By default, the power grid displays grouped and ungrouped students in the current plan.
To hide grouped students in the current plan, enable the Hide grouped students toggle.
Hiding Students in Plans
By default, the power grid displays students who are involved and uninvolved in groups of other plans.
To hide students in other plans, enable the Hide students in plans toggle.
Student Name
Use the Search Students search bar to filter students by name.
Grouping Students
The roll-up proficiency data displayed in the power grid is used to help educators understand what intervention services are appropriate for each student. To begin grouping students, look at student data in the LIS the same way that you would look at classroom grouping worksheets.
Intervention groups are typically based on a skill deficit. If you see various students struggling with a skill indicated by red, yellow, and orange score cells, create a group and group those students together. For example, if many students are struggling with Skill P3, it may make sense to capture a P3-focused intervention group if one does not already exist.
Sort the skill columns to assist in grouping decisions and expand columns to drill down into the student’s subskill errors.
Continue adding students to groups until everyone has been grouped appropriately.
Adding Students
To add a student to a group, drag and drop the handle on the left-hand side of the student's name in the STUDENTS column onto the group banner.
Alternatively, drag and drop the student’s name onto the group banner.
The group banner and the GROUPS column will update with the student’s participation.
To add a grouped student to a different group, drag and drop the handle next to the student’s name (or the student’s name) onto the new group banner. They do not need to be removed from the old group before being added to a new group.
The group banner and the GROUPS column will update with the student’s latest group participation.
Maximum Number of Students Alert
If multiple students have already been added to a group, you may receive an alert that adding another student will exceed the recommended maximum number of students.
This informational message is based on your district’s One95 Administrator settings for grouping best practices. This setting may have been overridden with a new maximum during group creation.
Override the setting by clicking Confirm Student Add.
Note:
- There are best practices and system maximums for student group involvement. You may receive an alert that you are unable to add another student entirely. To proceed with grouping the student, open a seat in the group.
- There is a maximum of 12 students for Tier 2 groups.
Removing Students
To remove a student from a group, click the circle icon next to the student's name within the group banner.
After confirmation, the group banner and the GROUPS column will update with the student’s group removal.
Ungrouped students can be found at the bottom of the table.
Updating Cycle Plans
Click Back to Automate below the power grid to return to the Automate subtab and clear all changes or select a new grouping method.
This may be helpful if your school has made too many changes to the groups and student distribution within the power grid.
- To reset the power grid using the same automated grouping method, select the existing grouping method.
- To reset the power grid using a different automated grouping method, select the new grouping method.
Click Continue to reset the power grid and groups. This action cannot be undone.
After confirmation, you will return to the Customize subtab. The group carousel will be cleared or reflect Tier 2 groups created by the automated grouping method selected. No manual changes from your school’s previous cycle planning will be visible.
Alternatively, click the Cancel and Take Me Back button to resume your school’s planning. Click Skip & Continue to Customize to return to the cycle planning within the power grid.
Resuming Later
If you are in the middle of grouping and need to resume later, note that any work completed within the power grid is automatically saved.
Colleagues with access to this page can view all the work that has been done and make group changes as desired. As such, it is advisable to complete grouping exercises as a school so that necessary stakeholders have the visibility they need.
Users can click Complete Later below the power grid to return to the Select subtab and choose another plan or navigate to another platform page at any time.
Activating Cycles
Once your school has finished grouping students, you can get ready to activate the Tier 2 groups for the plan’s upcoming intervention cycle.
New intervention plan cycles are activated by clicking Activate Plan below the power grid.
Confirm the Tier 2 group updates according to the distribution of students outlined in the Customize subtab, including any manual changes you may have made. This activates the plan cycle for your entire school and permanently saves the grouping changes.
Activating a plan cycle creates new Tier 2 groups or replaces the old Tier 2 groups in the Active Groups tab with the new groups configured within the Customize subtab and launches the cycle immediately.
After confirmation, you will return to the Active Groups tab. Previously active groups related to the plan will be replaced with the new groups you have created in the Customize subtab for the next cycle.
Changes in the Active Groups tab can include new Tier 2 groups, updated groups (e.g., name, students involved), or closed groups entirely. Tier 2 groups related or unrelated to other plans will remain. Classroom and Tier 3 groups in your school will remain unchanged.
The plan name will be visible within group tiles and banners for visibility into their intervention participation.
The planning sandbox within the Customize tab will be cleared and ready for the next intervention cycle.
The plan status will be updated from Planning to Active, and the cycle count will increase by one. Users can select the Active plan from the Select subtab to begin grouping for the next intervention cycle without activating it.
Note: If someone in your school made a mistake or wants to start over after cycle activation, return to the Intervention Plans tab, open the plan, select the Keep current groups and students grouping method, and regroup as needed before launching a new cycle.
Active Intervention Cycles
Once the intervention cycle is activated, student group participation is reflected throughout the LIS for visibility to all stakeholders.
- Student info cards will reflect group participation within the Active Groups tab and the Today page’s My Students tab.
- Listings will reflect group participation within the Today page’s My Activities tab.
- The Student Details page will reflect group participation at the top of the page.
- The PLL 2.0 dashboard within the Assign Student Activities page will reflect group participation within the GROUP column.
Additionally, previous group participation for students will be closed when students exit an intervention group and/or a new group participation entry will be added to the Intervention Group Participation table in each Student Details page.
The Intervention Group Participation table tracks when students are manually and automatically cycled into groups within the Active Groups and Intervention Plans tabs, respectively. It provides users with a historical record of the student’s intervention participation.
The date on which the plan cycle was activated will be outlined as the start date. The end date will be added once students are removed from the group or the group is deleted.
Students involved in Tier 2 groups that were closed after activating the cycle will reflect this participation within the Intervention Group Participation table. The date on which the new intervention cycle was activated will be outlined as the end date.
Note: If the student was assigned and removed from an active group in less than 24 hours, no row is displayed in the table to minimize table entries created by mistaken group assignments.

Best Practices
It is advisable to follow a three-week (i.e., 14-17 days) intervention cycle.
During week three of the cycle, PLL progress monitoring assessments are typically administered to the students in each intervention group. Note that PLL assessments are tracked in the Student Details assessment history table, but do not factor into automated grouping. A PASI or PSI should be given before the end of the cycle to re-measure skills addressed during intervention instruction.
Regrouping for the next intervention cycle should be done during week three of the intervention cycle and completed by the last day of the cycle. This means, meaning that educators within your school will come together to begin creating new groups before the end of the current cycle. The goal is for the next intervention cycle to begin the following day upon activation.
There are several ways to manage grouping once the cycle has been activated. You do not need to wait until the next intervention cycle to add a student who may need to join.
Educators with access can reference the Active Groups tab and, if a group already exists with open seats, they can choose to add students to the group right away by dragging and dropping them onto the group tile.
Educators can access the Students page to observe progress across all students in intervention by selecting the Student Progress tab and watching the dates of the last PASI or PSI scores along with scores for grouped students.
