Growth is mastering all the your subtraction facts and having to work on multiplication facts...as a 2nd grader...in a Foundations 2 Special Education classroom...even if you don't want to have to work on multiplication because its something new and different.
Growth is not having to carry a bathroom bag (cute Dr. Seuss bag) to the bathroom because you now wear underwear.
Growth is going from being considered nonverbal to your teacher asking you to please be quiet.
Growth is getting to run errands for your teacher because the adults can trust you to come back.
In my classroom growth is not always measured by the letter or number representing a reading level, how many math facts you can solve in two minutes or a score on a standardized test.
