What are strengths and gaps?

Once you have identified the competencies educators need to master to be successful within your model, the next step is to find out where each educator is at by formally and informally empowering them to:

• Reflect and assess themselves based on defined metrics for each competency

• Identify areas of strength and gaps in their mastery

This gives those who participate in the professional learning process the opportunity to reflect and honestly assess their own strengths and weakness, ensuring buy-in and a more learner-centered approach.
