My teachers tell me that I m successful. Grades on assignments and test scores. When I get a sticker on my paper. I check things off the list when I ve completed them successfully. When I exceed standards.
Teachers send home weekly progress reports.
We advance if we are successful. You know you re successful when you understand something well enough to explain it to someone else. Most of the time. More time during school to do my work helps me do my best. If a subject is interesting, and when my teacher makes it fun, it helps me do my best.
