So…What are the Pieces?
1.
Comprehensive needs assessment, based on data and information from Stake
Holder Groups, ELSSA, DataQuest,
2.
Revision of the LEA and School Plans, e.g. Title III Plan
3.
4.
5.
6.

CCSS- ELA and mathematics

New ELD Standards
Reallocation of resources

Critical to ensure that revised plans are sustainable and able to be faithfully
implemented.

Align resources to meet identified needs.
Professional development and support for staff

Include sufficient professional development and support for staff in the revised plans.

Is your plan actually “do-able”; don’t fill your plan with great strategies that are
impossible to implement. Plan out over a period of time, e.g. 3 year implementation.
Faithful implementation of the revised plans
Ongoing monitoring, analysis, and support for improvement plans
