one in May

5. Journal by teacher documenting on a day-to-day basis the implementation of DAP

6. Work from several different students (at different levels) throughout the year

7. Anecdotal records documenting progress of students throughout the year

8. Entries in teacher’s journal comparing DAP strategies with those previously used

Other evidence would be determined by Mr. Clark, depending on the progress of his

portfolio.

Reflections:

Mr. Clark wrote reflections about his progress each month. At the end of the year, he wrote a sum-

mary and an analysis of the entire process.

Assessment:

Each month, Mr. Clark did a self-assessment by writing reflections, and his principal assessed his

progress at the end of the school year. Based on Mr. Clark’s self-assessments and the principal’s

summative assessment, Mr. Clark determined his next steps in relation to using DAP.
