=**Step 3: On the final TCL day, reflect on each standard and goal you set for yourself. How did you do and why?**=

Reflection:I have become much more comfortable with the online A.R. Reading Program, and often access it, and reference it's many components on a regular basis. Before each conference session, I had the students check their reading comprehension through the S.T.A.R. checks. Included in both programs as narratives that explain student strengths and weaknesses. The Pen-Pal project didn't happen. I do have a friend in the public school system that is interested in a modified version for next year, which I intend to pursue.
