• learn tenants of state and federal mandated requirements and identify how each is represented in their program/school
• begin to establish skills to self reflect on their progress as an instructional coach and leader
• draft an internal monitoring plan to align proper implementation of timeline driven requirements through documentation and implementation
• draft an annual calendar of routine department requirements, responsibilities, best practices, and action

Please Note
