  11. Assesssment Beliefs (draft #1) • You have 2 minutes to do the following: • Read the belief statement out loud. • Record feedback on the L-hand of the T-Chart • Record questions on the R-hand of the T-Chart • At the end of 2 minutes, I’ll give a signal. • Move to the Right…to the next chart and repeat the process until feedback has been given on all the belief statements (charts).

  12. Assessment Beliefs (draft #1) • You will now repeat the process to read the feedback that was given. • You will have 30 seconds per chart paper to read all the statements and questions. • This is for reading only…no additional comments are needed.
