Work Smarter… Not Harder Katie Schmitt, S-RIP Adapted from: Rob Horner and Michele Wackman

Form a team to develop an implementation plan Commonly with new initiatives, we:

Few resources, staff, & time Duplication of effort with other initiatives & programs Lack of clarity regarding purpose and outcomes Lack of priority Challenges

Working Smarter Identify committees within your schoolIdentify purposes, outcomes, target groups, and staff Address, evaluate, and restructure committees and initiatives to address school improvement plan Integrate SW-PBIS into existing committees and initiatives

Our next activity is designed to identify committees in your school. Is there overlap or duplication of effort? Are many of the same people serving on different committees? Working smarter not harder; how can we make this happen? Outline committees and identify the purpose of those committees Who do they address? Can some of these committees be collapsed or merged? Are there committees that deserve added support?
