12 Sample Professional Excellence Characteristics – Instructional Culture

13 1:1 Planning Missteps Absence of a clear sense of vision tied to mission Inadequate software training and other professional development Poorly planned Infrastructure Right people on the bus who buy into the program – Parents – Teachers – Students – Board – Alumni

14 More Missteps We need to add a 1:1 program, because the district in the next town has one 1:1 will change our instructional culture We can provide limited $ to move ahead Launching a 1:1 program does not need to be in a Strategic Plan, because the School Board / Board Chair wants it. We believe all our faculty will love it!

15 Right Steps Clear sense of identity and vision; developed collaboratively Instructional culture assessment Ease into it by taking the time to check temperature Accepting the current and future cost Provide adequate professional development Don’t skimp on infrastructure Tech team Open communication – Tell people what you are going to tell them – Tell them – Tell them what you told them Use expertise of other districts Strong financial plan

16 Data Gathering Readiness assessment – Curriculum and instructional style assessment Important constituencies – teacher, master teacher use and receptivity. What are the concepts children in your class traditionally struggle with………… – Attitude/cultural audit – district change, we have been doing things this way for 100 years…….. – Comfortable being uncomfortable – Technology audit – hardware / software – Employee skill audit - beyond spreadsheets……

17 Strategic Planning Involves stake holders – who, how? Identifies essential priorities that are educationally based Creates buy-in without getting bogged down in bureaucracy Identify messengers / story tellers (faculty who are on board) No one person owns the plan Who, how, when, how much, evaluation
