"Small Changes, Big Impact" by Anthony R. Reibel really gave me a lot to reflect on. The book made me realize that it's often the small, incremental changes that truly stick, rather than impulsively trying to make drastic shifts in my life. In the past, I’ve set big goals, like waking up at 5 a.m. to get more done or committing to 30 minutes of meditation and stretching. But each time, I struggled to keep it up. My old routines would quickly overshadow these new goals, and the changes would fizzle out. Reibel's perspective on gradually letting go of old habits, while finding manageable ways to incorporate smaller changes into my lifestyle, really resonated with me. It’s a reminder that lasting transformation doesn’t have to happen all at once — it’s about making those tiny adjustments that can have a big, lasting impact.

This is an excellent introduction to proficiency based education in the United States via PLCs. I wish I could have read this book when I started my journey to implement proficiency based assessment/instruction in my classroom.
