finalized) action plan for the 2013-14 school year

WHAT’S HAPPENING?

Your team was asked to bring current School Improvement Plans,

Consolidated Applications, Focus/Priority School Plans, Goals, or any other documents you use to

make informed decisions.

WHAT’S HAPPENING?Using these documents determine:

What are any non-negotiables that can’t be taken off the table? Have to be included in action planning

What are district/school goals that drive all decision-making processes? If you don’t have these, include development of this document in

action planning

What “guides or leads” your district to ensure all buildings are headed in the same direction? Have you created “ONE-PAGER” document that everyone

lives by

COMPASS MODEL

not another thing to do!

COMPASS MODEL Why spend time on this resource?

Setting Direction and Leading the Way

For today’s work focus on: Culture: Page 3 and 33 Structures: Page 9 and 167

What is your “Current Culture” as it pertains to implementation of Common Core State Standards?

What current “Structures” (Programs/Structures) might be getting in the way of making the instructional changes necessary to implement Common Core State Standards?

COMPASS MODEL

We are not going to complete this activity today, but if you haven’t examined your programs and structures you might consider completing this activity back “home”.
