Thanks, Lawrence - For me, because of my role, we work with students and teachers before school starts to get an understanding of what they hope for out of the year, and that's where I usually align my work. Personally, one goal is to share these standards with all teachers instead of just focusing on CS teachers.

Hi Jigar,
Fantastic job on the new standards and representing them at the conference!
The assignment did say to include "One goal you have for the year as an educator" but I don't see one here. You may be resting on your laurels a little. Within the CSEd space, I'm probably a bit of a contrarian (although I like to think that I do so respectfully) so don't take it personally.
