Looking Ahead
 We have to look at our data differently, instead of
a singular focus on one test, one year.
 We have to be comfortable and confident about
raising the bar, and seeing different results.
 We have to place a value on, and recognize all
things that are important to preparing students
for post secondary success.
 We need to continue to grow in our profession.
