Here are some reflection questions to consider:
What can we LEARN from Freedom Prep about our team?
What are the implications of that LEARNING on our foci for next year?
What data is most important that we get our hands on now to strengthen team unity for next year?
If we had one instructional focus area for next year – what might it be?
4.      Living Section 6 Budget – How can we get the most value out of our allocation? Where do we want to Flycloser?
