__//**c. Understands and uses the results of multiple assessments to guide in planning and instruction.**//__

The ESTR-J and The 10 Areas of Critical Need are both used to assess level II and III students on living, learning, and working skills. Administering these tests has enabled me to assess the student's progress over the previous 36 weeks. By knowing what areas the student scored low in, I am able to center my instruction on these needs. [|ESTR-J.pdf] [|10.pages]

d. __//**Guides students in goal setting assessing their own learning.**//__ This artifact includes goals that students in my homebase class set for themselves concerning the ITBS. I was able to sit down with the students, show them their scores from the previous year, and work with them to set feasible goals for improved scores this year. [|Conferences Schedule(3)(2).pages]

__//**e. Provides substantive, timely and constructive feedback to students and parents.**//__ One of Kaitlin Glandon's goals is to be able to look up a name in the phone book.

Kaitlin has instant feedback when she finishes her paper. [|DOC042910.pdf]

__//**f. Works with other staff and building and district leadership in analysis of student progress.**//__ The D – F list is a list compiled by all teachers in the building.
