PROCESS

WORK GROUPS- LEARNING ENVIRONMENT- MINDSET- CURRICULUM AND MATERIALS- TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT SYSTEMS

WORK GROUPS DEVELOPED MAJOR TARGETED AREAS

INDIVIDUAL WORK GROUP DEVELOPED SPECIFIC STRATEGIES

WORK GROUPS CRITIQUED EACH OTHER’S WORK

PROCESS (cont’d)

MINDSET OF THE RESOURCE TEAM

- THE WORK PRODUCT SHOULD BE DYNAMIC AND CHANGE OVER TIME (LIVING DOCUMENT)

- WORK PRODUCT WOULD SERVE AS THE “BEGINNING” OF A MORPHING PROCESS FOR THE DISTRICT AND NOT THE END PRODUCT

- TIME AND EVER-CHANGING CONDITIONS WOULD ONLY IMPROVE THE USEFULNESS OF THE PRODUCT

PROCESS (cont’d)

RESOURCES TEAM WOULD COORDINATE WITH ADJACENT WORK GROUPS

TEAM WOULD UTILIZE TECHNOLOGY TO FACILITATE THE DISCUSSION AND DISCOVERY PROCESS (WIKI FORUM)

THE SHARED PRODUCT WOULD REFLECT A CONSENSUS OPINION AND NOT BE A BYPRODUCT OF THE CO-CHAIRS VIEWPOINTS

PROCESS (cont’d)

1. LEVERAGE TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE OVERALL COSTS

2. FORM AND FOSTER PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS

- PRIVATE SECTOR FIRMS- INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING- NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS- FOUNDATIONS- COMMUNITY AGENCIES

- “MOVE INLAND FROM THE BEACH”
