Reflect                                        1. What did we want students to learn?
   ● Data Analysis of most recent                   a. Which standard(s)?
      Formative or Summative Assessment             b. Which “I Can” statements from the Proficiency Scale(s)?
                                               2. How do we know if students have learned it?
                                                    a. Bring your graded Student Work Samples

   ● Instructional Strategies                  2. Think about those students that weren’t successful. What strategies might you
                                                  need to implement to help them be more successful?
