How it Works

• Phase 1: Student Goal Setting: During the Fall window, students record their baseline RIT score, set a realistic goal, and commit to two specific behaviors or habits to reach that goal.
• Phase 2: Multi-Season Tracking: Use the same pages all year long with dedicated sections for Fall, Winter, and Spring scores to visualize continuous growth.
• Phase 3: Data-Driven Instruction: Teachers use the Instructional Action Planner to identify focus areas from class reports, document priorities, and list specific action steps and resources needed before the next test.
