Through the student academic progress standard, I will demonstrate best practices to yield adequate student academic achievement. The primary goal of the standard is to guarantee I cultivate appropriate and measurable goals that produce sufficient academic student growth. Not only is student growth a key component in this standard, but using state approved, measurable goals and effectively interpreting data for optimal student achievement is the central objective of the student academic progress standard. This standard allows me to understand and concretely see student growth, and I will use this information to guide my teaching.

• I will use the Developmental Spelling Analysis (DSA) to differentiate, guide my instruction, and set goals.  *Developmental Spelling Analysis (DSA)

• The Fountas & Pinnell Reading Assessment will give me a baseline and help determine my students zone of proximal development in reading.  *Fountas & Pinnell Reading Assessment

• The Phonological Awareness Literacy Assessment is an assessment with benchmarks designed to guide instruction and student goals. *Phonological Awareness Literacy Assessment (PALS 1-3)
