HLP 4: Use Multiple Sources of Information to Develop a Comprehensive Understanding of a Student’s Strengths and Needs

Compile a comprehensive learner profile through the use of a variety of assessment measures and other sources that are sensitive to language and culture, to (a) analyze and describe students’ strengths and needs and (b) analyze the school-based learning environments to determine potential supports and barriers to students’ academic progress. Collect, aggregate, and interpret data from multiple sources. This information is used to create an individualized profile of the student’s strengths and needs.
