  • Maintain accurate records of academic progress and social-emotional growth.
  • Use assessment data to inform instructional planning and differentiation.

Professional Collaboration and Growth

  • Collaborate with colleagues to share best practices, plan instruction, and strengthen the early elementary program.
  • Remain current on best practices in early childhood and early elementary education.


Qualifications
