The Challenge We must realize that the system is the cause of weak execution due to lack of clarity, commitment, collaboration and accountability resulting from the whirlwind. Whirlwind: urgent activities of daily work that act on you Strategic Focus: important and new activities that you act on Change efforts most often fail when approached through a stroke-of-the-pen strategy versus a behavior change strategy. Is LCAP perceived as a compliance activity or a capacity building process?

The Challenge A strategic focus increases performance in areas most critical for current and future success of our school district. Creates clarity to guide actions Promotes commitment of individuals Fosters collaboration across the organization Measures impact for accountability Ask the following questions to assess your LCAP strategic focus: 1.Does every stakeholder have a clear understanding of the LCAP? 2.Can every stakeholder explain how the LCAP impacts our collective actions? The key to closing student achievement gaps is leading with a strategic focus

WHY WHAT HOW Purpose Goals Outcomes

Our mission is to ensure all students graduate high school prepared to successfully enter higher education and/or pursue a viable career path. We believe that: 1.Parents, staff and community members should support all students with attaining academic goals and career aspirations. 2.All students should be provided a clean, safe and inviting learning environment. We will accomplish this by: 1.Setting priorities at each grade level aligned with CCSS via formative assessments, proven instructional strategies and targeted interventions. 2.Developing partnerships with parents, community members, businesses and educators that support student academic goals and career aspirations. To achieve these outcomes we commit to… Aligning action steps with LCAP outcomes to strategically allocate support and resources

District LCAP

Strategic Focus A clear vision with compelling outcomes fosters a culture of collaboration, commitment and accountability. Purpose: We believe that… Goals: What matters most is… Outcomes: We define success as… We must recognize that ACTIONS will never cease to change.

Defining Outcomes that Matter Lag Metrics define outcomes. Lead Metrics define actions. Determine if your “Metrics Matter” by asking three questions… 1.Can the outcome inform action planning? 2.Is the outcome able to be influenced? 3.Will the outcome significantly impact the goal(s)?

Defining Lead Metrics that Matter Lead Metrics inform daily practice, are influencable and significantly impact long-term outcomes. What should the Lead Metrics be for the identified Lag Metrics?

Culture of Accountability Establishing a culture of accountability requires that leaders establish processes that promote a “plan-do-study-act” dialog. Three steps are essential for such a process: 1.Each division/department and school creates an Action Plan. Clarifies actions and defines lead metrics 2.Each engages in weekly to monthly Team Check-Ins. Adjusts actions to improve impact 3.Each conducts a Quarterly Review of progress. Refines action plan by discussing successes and barriers
