If you are using NWEA MAP or DIBELS assessments, please describe how you are utilizing the results and how you are setting the growth targets for your students. Be sure to use the appropriate tools available from the publishers of the assessments to make your decisions. Tips – Sample: I will be using NWEA MAP assessment in the Math sub- category of Number Sense. I will be using the results from the Fall, Winter and Spring MAP testing to assess student progress. Growth targets will be established according to the NWEA growth projection based on expected growth from Fall to Spring.

9. Q.7 List the specific 21st Century Skill (s) in your instruction and that will be evidenced in resulting student work.
