Rebecca (6th grade)
The current information in this page is for the LRJA completed on January 5, 2017.
Rebecca's latest Lectical Score is 9.88 (phase 09d). Over the last 12 months, she has grown about .12 of a level.
If she stays on her current growth curve, Rebecca's reflective judgment skills will be at level 10.4 by the end of grade 12. Performance at this level meets the task demands of some first-year college curricula.

You can support Rebecca's growth by raising questions like these, and by modeling this practice for Rebecca.
