You are now that key action. Review your key action so you are confident about who you are. Write a “bio” of your key action. Here’s a sample… Hi. I’m P1, but many people call me “Know your students.” If you hang around me, you’ll find I like to use a variety of sources to know my students’ performance levels, and I regularly use them in my planning. Also, I have various ways to garner data on my students’ backgrounds, family, interests and learning styles. I regularly use them in my planning. I even proactively share this info with others because I like to be highly efficient.
