The standards alignment piece was useful – especially the NCDA framework and seeing how different states define WBL for Perkins accountability. I already knew alignment mattered, but I hadn't thought much about how state definitions drive what we track and report.
I'll review my state's WBL requirements and make sure our activities actually count for what Perkins expects. I also want to use the grade-level progression chart as a checklist to see where we're thin. Georgia's manual was a reminder that clear standards and rubrics make implementation easier – something I could adapt for our program.
