A Growth Suite consists of a number of questions on a given standard with answer options -- all efficiently represented on a single screen (or slide). They're ideal for teachers to display on a classroom projector or flat panel so that students can complete the activity at their own pace (asynchronous) using clickers or student devices.
You can find Growth Suites under Lessons Assessments > Growth Suites.
Examples:
A Growth Suite may also be used as a teaching aid, for walking students through one or more example questions (synchronous) before "turning them loose" to finish the activity at their own pace (asynchronous).
