Training Flow Strive is about the growth process involving appraisal and professional growth. A key to starting out the training is to emphasize how teacher evaluation systems have evolved from compliance and check-boxes to building goals and actions for professional growth. Strive focuses on the learning and doing actions necessary for goal completion. Professional growth provides the specific learning moments within the entirety of the goal process.
