✏️ How to Use this Resource:

• After giving a formative or summative assessment of an ELA standard/skill, provide each student with feedback that includes their level of understanding (1-4). Students should locate the standard on their data tracking sheet and shade their level (creating a bar graph).

• As they continue to work on a standard and receive additional feedback, they will monitor their growth by shading up to their new level. Their goal is to reach level 3 or higher in each Texas standard by the end of the year.
