September #trending
Creating Complete Student Profiles
Data, Data, Data!
The most exciting part of the beginning of the year is getting to know your students. It is the focus and priority in classrooms as teachers design engaging lessons to welcome students back to learning as a collaborative and productive community. Balancing and documenting the data gathered about each individual student is critical for true, effective differentiation of instruction. This month’s #trending will highlight the various types of data you are collecting on students, when you can collect it, and most importantly what you can do with it so it impacts instructional decision-making.

Making a personal connection can significantly improve social, emotional, and academic performance. Consider using these links and keywords to gather resources to learn more about your students.
