I feel comfortable in many of these actions, but one I am always building my craft in is 4.1 and 4.2 - Gathering stacks of mentor texts and mining them for teaching points. I want to continue to build my craft in this as I support educators in doing this. Since I support all elementary grades, that's a lot of different types of stack to learn and get more proficient in. It's such a great way to build my professional knowledge.
