Enroll the student in the appropriate Special Review Assessment Instructional Program. The student must participate in the instructional program that pertains to the subject or subjects in which they did not receive a proficient score on their HSPT.
Prepare the student for the Performance Assessment Tasks. After the Special Review Assessment Instructional Program is complete, the student must complete the Special Review Assessment Performance Assessment Tasks.
