As for me? I'm okay on most of these. I'm weakest on 13, 14, and 18 (I'm not even sure what "deep web knowledge" means). And while others on the list (like 6 and 9) I'm acquainted with, I wouldn't say that I was an expert. I certainly wouldn't want people depending on me to answer their questions or provide training.
T.H.E. Journal has been kind enough to provide a list of on-line tutorials for each item. So perhaps one of my summer projects will be to spend a little time beefing up what I do know and developing new knowledge to replace my ignorance of others. I have a feeling that in my new district role that I may need a broader base of expertise in many of these items from the list. Better to learn in leisure than repent in haste. Or something like that.
