**Final Quote: **

**Billy Crystal once said, "Change is such hard work!" We are about to see one of the largest changes to mathematics curriculum and instruction that this nation has ever experienced. It will require each of us to reflect upon our expertise and teaching practices and look for ways to meet the needs of all learners. But with change comes great possibility. Our final reminder: "If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living." --Gail Sheehy **
