    A2. When Ts are able to help the Ss obtain a higher level! Bad when the Ss story is already written for them before the assessment! #mnlead
  • jenhegna Mar 19 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A2) Because T's can predict those outcomes, they should also know how to personalize assessmts based on S needs-Is this always true? #mnlead
