Monitoring the engagement of students in learning activities, and the progress they are making, to determine if the pace or content of instruction needs to be modified to assure that all students accomplish lesson and unit objectives. Documenting student progress in accomplishing State and district standards, prepare data summaries that show this progress to others, and inform students, supervisors, and parents about progress in learning.

All teachers know they are as well.
