Find your bright spots “When it's time to change, we must look for bright spots -- the first signs that things are working, the first precious As and Bs on our report card. We need to ask ourselves a question that
sounds simple but is, in fact, deeply unnatural: What's working and how
can we do more of it?”- Chip and Dan Heath, authors of Switch

The Role of NTs/NTEs: Developing Turnkey PlansWednesday night: Each NT/NTE will be paired with one other NT/NTE to present its turnkey plan for feedback. Each presentation should last for 10-14 minutes. Presentations should include:•The NT/NTE approach to working with schools/districts•A review of bright spots/examples of successes in working with your schools/ districts •A review of the biggest challenges to date in working with your schools/districts•The key 3-4 areas of focus that the team thinks will make the biggest impact

Critical Moves: 1% MilkThe USDA wanted people to eat healthier, but that task seemed daunting. Researchers decided on a critical move: Recommend consumers to switch to 1% milk.
14
Researchers created ads showing how a glass of milk contains as much fat as three strips of bacon and displayed mounds of fat at press conferences.

Mapping Your Critical Moves
15
Critical Move 1: Review CCSS resources on www.engageny.com and plan PD sessions for districts and principals around observing the ELA/literacy shifts
Critical Move 2: Support your districts in mapping out a transition plan for CCSS math implementation until modules are available
Critical Move 3: When the math modules are available, use your data to help each district in your NT/NTE decide how to use the modules

Refresher: How Can You Rally the Herd?
•Learn what motivates those around you•Use those motivations to encourage behaviors related to
change•Promote behaviors that reinforce change•Make change the new norm
www.engageNY.org
Motivating the Elephant: Rally the Herd• Behavior is contagious: You do things because
your peers do them.•Overeating•Getting married, having kids•Shaking hands to greet someone•Wearing fashionable fluffy boots•Buying an iPhone
• Think about your “customers” (school and district educators) inside your sphere of influence. What motivates them?

NT/NTE Worksheet: Working with Schools/DistrictsYour data probably show that different schools and districts in your district/region will need different types of support.Two new worksheets – one for NTs and one for NTEs - provide guidance on how to focus support for schools/districts based on their overall readiness. Insert the worksheets into your workbook!

Looking Inward: Reflecting on Your DataSpend the next fifteen minutes reviewing your District Survey data and District Readiness Rubric results with your team.
While reviewing, try to consider the following:•What in the data surprises you? •What in the data concerns you?•How do the data affect your critical moves? Do you need new/different critical moves in your implementation plan?

What Are Our Critical Moves?Using everything we’ve discussed tonight – the
survey and rubric data, remembering “inch pebbles” and “achievable first steps,” thinking about contagious behaviors, and the new worksheets – jot down new or refined critical moves for your plan.

Your Plan on the SpectrumWe have placed a spectrum of confidence on the wall behind you. Using the sticky notes on your table, place your dot on the spectrum in response to the following question:•How confident are you that your NT/NTE turnkey implementation will bring about the type of changes and results you are hoping for?
