We discuss the learning
goals at the start of each
lesson. Students are able
to describe what skill
they are learning as it
relates to the subject and
what skills they can use
to help them master the
skill. By the end of a
weekly theme or after
learning a particular skill,
students are able to
articulate what the
learning goal was and at
least one skill/way they
achieved it. 7/15/22

I encourage goal setting

in my class so students
are able to articulate their
goals and take more
responsibility for their
learning. I utilize rubrics
and explain them before
allowing students to work
so they are aware of the
expectations. 12.2.22

Curriculum is planned
thoughtfully to align with

Additionally, curriculum
is aligned with other
subject areas to provide
cross-curricular
understanding of
skills/content. All
projects, assessments,
activities, and objectives
are planned accordingly
for each unit throughout
the year. Weekly and

assessments are
administered so that have
multiple opportunities to
