You are going to work on the Naviance Personal Growth Assignment.

There are four parts. Choose to do 1 part for the next 4 weeks.

Do them in this order:

1. Learning Style Inventory Due 4/3 2. Strengths Explorer Due 4/10 3. Do What You Are Due 4/24 4. Career Interests Profiler Due 5/1

Each Inventory has a writing reflection piece. Each Reflection sheet has been shared to you. I have shared two sample inventories below for you to take a look at. You have already done the Learning Style Inventory so that is 1 less for you to complete, but you still need to do the reflection for it.

Save each summary of your results as a pdf in your AVID folder so I can see it.
