Information gleaned from these assessments, which are shared with parents, is to inform teachers about
the abilities of their students, identify students with particular / similar characteristics, better identify student
needs and target resources to support student learning and growth over time.
While we are aware that students’ preferences for learning are influenced by other factors we know that our
teachers take the time to know their students. They use resources to determine students’ interests, learning
styles, and multiple intelligences. This data is used in effective instructional planning and classroom
organization.
