The role of students in measuring and monitoring their own growth
Tuesday June 9, 2026 10:45am - 11:45am EDT
Salem 3A
Student performance rightfully consumes us, but as state tests have fallen away from certain subject areas (and the data that came with them), how do we measure and track growth?  What is a student's role in that processs?  I have done my best to investigate best practices and have started exploring ways to help students monitor their growth in the hopes of starting a cycle of empowerment and reflection.

This session will present some of the latest research on the impact of early college on postsecondary performance and on employment and earnings.
