2. On your own, look at each topic and develop the top three priorities and areas that need immediate action and number them on your agenda
3. Designate a scribe
4. Go around the table clockwise and share ONE item from each persons list
5. If a priority is repeated, have the scribe write it on your poster paper (each time the same priority is mentioned, make a tick mark)
6. Continue going around the table until all ideas have been shared
7. Formulate a team list of established priorities for immediate action by numbering the ones with the most marks.

Demo
In the next 90 school days I will: focus on chronic absenteeism as identified from 2009-2010 attendance data by implementing a faculty mentoring program.
Improve School Climate – Increased Attendance
So that: By the end of the first six weeks of the 2010-11 school year, the number of tardies decreases by 50% as compared to last year’s average, and the attendance rate increases to 90%.
1. Review attendance data from the 2010-1011 school year and identify the students with the highest # of absences per grade. 2. Notify chronically absent/tardy students of the school’s start date3. Identify source of funds to provide financial incentive/award to each mentor teacher4. Identify source of funds and provide student recognition awards to students achieving predetermined attendance goals.5. Share initiative with teachers during one of the opening in-service days.6.Identify 5 teachers per grade level to serve as mentors.7. Assign each faculty member 10 students for whom they will serve as mentor to monitor attendance. 8. Meet with mentors to share vision for their role and responsibilities.9. Designate administrative staff to have face-to-face meetings with chronically absent students 10. Conduct face-to-face meetings. 11.

90 Day Action Strategies
Objective: Based on the immediate actions identified while participating in this seminar, work to develop at least two 90 Day Action Strategies.
Activity:1. Gather any needed notes and your two 90-Strategy posters,
and find a location to work.2. On your 90 Day Action Strategy posters create at least two
immediate action goals and plans (one strategy per poster).3. After 45 minutes, gather in our eating room with your
posters.4. When prompted go to the poster hanging to the right of
yours.5. Review the plan and provide feedback on sticky notes6. When prompted move to your right and repeat step 4.
