When assessing students,
I am still working on
identifying the
assessments that best
support the student
learning. This is an area
of growth for me as an
educator and am looking
forward to learning how
to utilize assessments
that best support student
growth. When I give
assessments, I know
which types to assign for
data collection. The part
that I am ready to grow in

applying it to the next
