Notes:

1)    Possible data sources can include assessment scores from MAP or State assessments, locally developed assessments that will show the change, locally developed Rubrics to show implementation and change, portfolios, focus groups, observation toolsÉ..

2)    When goals are completed it doesnÕt necessarily mean they are dropped.  They should be engrained in instruction that it no longer needs to be a goal for implementation to occur.
