Teacher Leadership Experiences and Future Goals

I will develop my leadership in Student Assessment.

Goal: Mentor and encourage teachers to use their student data to determine classroom
practices and drive instruction.
Rationale: Research shows that it is teachers who have the greatest system influence on
student outcomes. That means that teachers need to use assessment data to
improve teaching practice and student learning.
