The document discusses questions for a K-4 math coach around assessing student understanding, documenting learning, providing learning opportunities, and using assessment data to inform future instruction. It suggests using anecdotal notes, Bloom's taxonomy questions, open-ended thinking, and rubrics to assess and document learning, as well as considering the learning environment, strategies, and resources used to promote outcomes. The coach is encouraged to analyze assessment data to determine effectiveness, next instructional steps, address gaps, and extend learning.
