  1. Move to TABE—It is CCRS Aligned
  2. How to make consortium partnerships with cbos?? How can students take classes at multiple institutions? It is a barrier to be enrolled at one institution at a time.
  3. Focus on one program, i.e., HS21 and one region, e.g.NW regional alignment--look at what they are doing as best practices
  4. Automatic system upload some attendance into WABERS
