  1. Barbara Sue,
    I love the idea behind your action plan. It looks very well thought out and thorough. After looking at yours -- it is so neat, easy to read, and very specific steps -- I'm thinking I may need to pare mine down some. Your goals are very concise and achievable. I'll watch for updates to see your progress.

  3. I agree with Sheryl. You have been very thorough in your plan. I have a hard time trying to find things to suggest because I am not in k-12 education, just as I'm sure you have a hard time understanding where I coming from since I work in higher education ESL. That being said, however, it looks as though you've made sure you have all your bases covered and have planned for the unexpected. Good job!
