Planning Ahead

What strategies might be considered to support a two way means of

communication?

What contributions from various stakeholders can be provided to support

initial implementation?

How can we use expertise and experiences of district and school

personnel to define roles and responsibilities?

How will we support the district with technical assistance and

coaching?

What operation system will be used to house our collection of

ideas, findings, and relevant information that will be used to

support initial implementation?

What strategies might be used to support our self-reflection and

professional growth?.

How might we consider the development of a working calendar of

events that may include but is not limited to a timeline with

checkpoints for sharing district support, analyzing and re-

purposing efforts?
