Self Assessment and Learning Goals

Using the scale below, first indicate your current level for each item. Then enter your desired level or goal for each. Enter the difference in the last column. Circle three or four of the highest numbers in the last column that are important to you.

0 - Never
1 - Sometimes
2 - Frequently
3 - Always

(The headings of the columns on the right are current, goal, and change. Due to limitations in HTML, I skipped the columns.)
