After checking initial placement and/or monitoring progress, you may need to adjust a student's level or goal to accelerate his or her learning. You may need to further differentiate instruction for some students by adjusting their story options.
Who
- Teachers can adjust the levels and goals for students for whom they are the lead teacher.
