  • This file includes notes about what materials to have ready prior to the arrival of your candidacy materials, what questions you could answer before the materials arrive (just to get ahead), a list of the "random" standards that were chosen for us to address in the self-assessment report, and a log of the hours I spent preparing the candidacy materials. My total of 20 hours was from first read through printing and signatures with no advance writing of answers, but assuming that everything was ready (it wasn't, but I didn't count the time to tally surveys, etc. as part of candidacy material time).
