objective
My objective is to move my career forward with this wonderful oppotunity working with the York Region District School Board and the Ministry of Education's Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat. I would like to further my commitment to Literacy success with students by being part of the initiative focusing on feedback and its impact on student work. I have seen its potential to guide students in the classroom as well as help teachers improve practice. This would be a valuable opportunity to continue using assessment for learning as an educational tool and objectively measure its success on a wider scale.
