Competency 4 remains such a big thorn for so many of us because of the added weight in our annuals.
Year long indicators for Competency 4:
4d. Using Data. Teacher tracks assessment data to understand each student’s progress toward mastery and uses results to guide planning and instruction.
4e. Understanding of Growth. Teacher can articulate specifically (and with evidence) whether or not each student has internalized grade-level standards and, if not, what s/he still needs to learn.
4f. Progress Toward Goals. Data reflect that students are mastering the objectives of the focus areas, leading toward mastery of grade-level standards.
