Evidence of this work may be seen by multiple measures of student growth on local assessments and statewide tests; in consistent planning and preparing to meet the unique needs of each learner; through a welcoming, caring culture and climate; thoughtful and evidence-based instructional and assessment practices; and continually adhering to professional responsibilities.
