If the instructor disagrees with the assigned level, they may document their justification here.
This SmartILR rating is intended as a decision-support tool for instructors. The generated level reflects an automated analysis of discourse features, inference demands, structural complexity, and—when applicable—listening delivery conditions.
However, ILR level assignment ultimately requires professional instructional judgment. Teachers may consider additional factors such as learner population, instructional context, curriculum alignment, and assessment purpose.
If an instructor disagrees with the assigned level, they may record their justification in the Teacher Feedback field above. The final authority for level assignment remains with the teacher.
