- What are we looking for when we look at samples of work?
- The "process": how the learner approaches reading, writing and math tasks
- The product: patterns of errors and strengths to build upon
- The journey should result in an understanding of the learner's strengths and
weaknesses that is sufficient to form a foundation for the training plan. By
exploring the world of screening tools, the final destination: "the development of
the training plan" can be reached. Although the initial journey draws to a close,
the practitioner and learner will continue to take "day trips" to gain a better
understanding of the types of teaching, learning and management strategies that
best suit the learner. As the training plan is developed and the training progresses,
the learner and practitioner will continue to venture down roads of discovery as
they come across new or unidentified barriers, strengths and strategies.
