• Remember, 1-3 artifacts per goal/standard and they can be "attached" to more than one goal/standard
• For SLG, show evidence of the measurement of growth of your group you selected to focus on
• For PPG, show evidence of how PD was implemented that supported your goal, or evidence of your goal in action (mapping, etc)
• For standard 1, show evidence of great lesson planning, assessments, or clear expectations
• For standard 2, show evidence of scaffolding, meeting diverse needs, motivation, setting expectations
• For standard 3, show evidence of work preparing for the expo (emailing parents, ect), concert/performance prep, contact with parents, posts for the community, newsletters sent home
• For standard 4, show evidence of what you have taken from PD/PLC/CPT/Dept Time and implemented into your practice

Thank you!
