I am able to reflect and share my growth around assessment literacy with my peers.
I am building awareness around the importance of my leadership to cultivate change within my setting.
I can identify some skills that are necessary to be an effective teacher leader.
I understand that part of this process is building relationships within and across districts for the purpose of deepening my knowledge of assessment literacy and building my own support network.
