Reviewing System Capacity
Discussion Questions
• Have you shared your timeline? If so, with whom?
• If publicly posted, where does it “live”?
• Has the timeline been broadly disseminated (e.g., sent to
regional PD centers, listservs, newsletter to districts/schools/
principals/etc.)?
• Are there varying levels of detail or different versions of the
timeline (e.g., one of the senior leadership, one for “in the
weeds” staff, and one for the public?)
