I have built a more solid group of peers that I consider go-to sources for advice ...” • “I have a new focus on engaging my students as a higher priority than covering content...” • “I have been thinking about ways... in which I can advocate for more incorporation of active learning techniques into our unit's curricula ...” • “... I am more conscious of instructional design when creating lesson plans...”
