Dear Colleague (s),

"Standards are not a celebration of mediocrity nor intended to provide a level of comfort by showing activities or statistics that represent a hypothetical average. Rather, the standards provide a path,sometimes difficult to an ideal."

3. Helpful strategies in meeting/surpassing the standard requirements
