reviewlow confidence
Rationale: Unable to assess - student refused to participate in assessment. Attendance records show 8 absences out of 20 intervention sessions (40% attendance). When present, student frequently exhibits off-task behavior and difficulty with sustained attention. Academic skills likely intact based on placement, but behavioral and attendance barriers preventing progress. Recommend behavioral intervention support, family meeting, and possible incentive system.
Flagged Issues:
- Assessment refusal
- 40% attendance rate
- Behavioral intervention needed
- Cannot assess academic progress
✅ Teacher Decision: Followed NBA
Action Taken: Met with family and counselor. Implemented behavior contract and morning check-in system.

🤖 NBA Recommendation
reviewmedium confidence
Target: Lesson 8
Rationale: Significant performance decline (92% → 60%). Attendance records show deterioration to 55% over past 3 weeks coinciding with family crisis (parent hospitalization). Academic skills appear intact (92% when fully engaged at Lesson 8) but current life circumstances creating barrier to learning. Recommend reviewing Lesson 8 when attendance stabilizes. Priority should be behavioral/social-emotional support and family services coordination rather than academic pressure.
Flagged Issues:
- Family crisis impacting attendance
- Academic skills intact but not accessible
- Need wraparound services
- Hold academic expectations until stability achieved
✅ Teacher Decision: Followed NBA
Action Taken: Coordinated with school social worker and family resource center. Paused formal assessments until family situation stabilizes.

Projected Outcome
Student demonstrates strong academic capability (88-92% when engaged) but barriers are behavioral, attendance, and family circumstances rather than skill deficits. Currently in crisis (parent hospitalization) with 55% attendance. Academic intervention paused pending stabilization of home situation. Needs wraparound services including counseling, family support, and possible mentoring. When ready to re-engage, student can likely resume at Lesson 8-9 level.
