- It reinforces the competencies that we are already using and demonstrates how WL curriculum can support the English Common Core guidelines.
- I got some great lesson ideas!
- Jan was very accessible and a wealth of information.
- Curriculum mapping will be easier now that I understand more.
- Wiped away the lack of confidence to align what we are teaching. Helped to see ways to revise activities to meet the CC Standards.

- This was wonderful + so helpful. The Common Core is no longer the terrifying beast is was.
