- Communicating test scores results of a student who is performing below the expected proficiency level requires thoughtful consideration, therefore it is important to first talk with the student to understand the reason and gain an insight and then make a plan to address the issue.
- Hi Karim, I wanted to talk about your performance in the test could you tell me what happened?
