3-Proficient

I demonstrate understanding of the learning target, but I may make a few minor errors and I am not confident to teach others

I demonstrate some understanding of the learning target, but because of the gaps in my understanding, I still need more practice and descriptive actionable feedback to show growth and progress towards mastery.
