I got a clearer understanding between the difference between formative and summative assessments

Untreated trauma can have an impact on a student's ability to focus ( attention span) and reading comprehension ability. 

In attempt to diminish  traumatic experiences , teen use/ abuse alcohol or drugs to self medicate.

Trauma can appear in students differently and can also be mistaken for other diagnosis if the person isn't experience in childhood trauma. There is 26% decline in  undertreated and untreated students that will likely not graduate high school compared to the 86% counterparts.

Engaging with empathy is paramount

It's good to know the scope of responsibility an instructor can have regarding a student who has experienced trauma.
