"John's webinar was perfect for our team and provided us with some great learning on how to read these results, decide on next steps and follow up on areas that may need further investigation. His delivery was gauged at a level that was easy to understand and related to our area of need which is assessing those students who may be eligible for Special Assessment Conditions. We would highly recommend John for any professional development relating to Lucid software/GL Assessments."
