Just wanted to reach out and say how great your presentation was. I learned a lot that I would love to bring back to my team including the Language Proficiency Toolkit. I think it is empowering and will hold our students accountable for their own learning if we incorporate them. Honestly, it did not cross my mind until today. I was wondering if I could share this with my Team?
