TRA (Transferring) or DEM (Demonstrating) indicate your student is showing command of those learning skills. They are ahead or on track in these areas!
APP (Approaching) or BEG (Beginning) indicate your student is making progress toward this skill and will continue to work in this area in order to get to Demonstrating or Transferring. Most students progress through all phases of this scale as they work toward competency. At this point, students are on track if they have indicators of APP or BEG, but it's important they make continual progress with these skills.
IE (Insufficient Evidence) or NA (Not Attempted) are indicators of concern and mean your student is not on track with learning progress.
