Next Steps for District and/or School Administrators
Preview the 3 biggest questions facing your organization (return to the homepage and click Insights at top of the dashboard). • Explore each question for an overview of understanding quick wins to implement today and game changers to implement over the next several months. • Identify your district and/or school’s highest priority areas and create an action plan for implementing quick wins and game changers to start making system-­‐wide changes. • Questions to consider: o How will we make this plan operational? o What are the short-­‐term, incremental steps to implement each action, strategy and intervention? o What job-­‐embedded professional learning will support the prioritized need areas? o How will we provide support? What support will we need and from whom? o How frequently and with what method will progress checks occur? www.brightbytes.net | 490 2
