4. Naming our beliefs about our students and assessment and how we act on our beliefs.
5. Developing stakeholder groups.\
6. Considering standards, curriculum, learning targets.
7. Considering assessment practices and tools, current report cards, SBG sample report cards, technology platforms in use.
