# Developmental Continuum
This tool has been designed to align to Seneca’s Standards of Practice and Core Literacies, and to recognize that faculty are on a developmental continuum of personal growth. Faculty will use the tool to identify where they are in the four domains and their areas of strengths and needs. The developmental continuum will provide a common language to facilitate conversations and receive descriptive feedback.
