- Digging into the new AKS was fantastic. I feel more confident about how much different the new standards are going to be but how I can tackle that.
- Although I am not a current team lead, I feel more confident in my ability to be an effective leader, should the opportunity arise.
- The hands on activities and examples were fantastic.
- Using so much data and I LOVE that. Mastery Trackers are awesome and I'm working on being more effective with that data.

Grows:
- More time to work with the new standards and build effective activities and assesments that will be beneficial to our students.
- How can I be more effective with analyzing the data and USING that to inform my teaching going forward.

1. I truly enjoyed the interactive aspect of working on the Science and Engineering Practices. I think that will definitely be the more challenging aspect of the new curriculum.
