Student-directed instead of student-centered learning. Additional feedback on how professional development will be integrated with this plan is important.

1) Thought that went into the document and synthesizing the most important imperatives in the document
2) Taking on a task that has not been done at the college previously
3) Appreciation for the adapted physical campus description, and this section was inspirational. Showed what we would be gaining.
4) Discussion in imperative 1 & 10 for including the OER.
