Low Incidence teachers are expected to teach every standard for the grade level.

The annotations forms should show specific levels of prompting students' require for the task.

School admin should monitor the teacher's progress on GAA completion during the GAA window.

Teachers should givea more challenging task if the student scored high on a collection 1 task.

Progress can be shown if a student completes a harder task in collection 2 with more prompts.

Observations can be used as primary evidence.

Teachers can create annotation forms that reference the student as "The student....."
