Agenda Item Summary:
|
The last quarterly chats in SY 18-19 are designed to support school teams in leveraging reflections from the past year in order to plan for the coming year. School teams are being brought together over the month of July for facilitated conversations aimed at identifying the root causes of their predictable problems, and determining the key levers to focus on to spur change in the upcoming year. An external certified facilitator and accredited leadership coach, Jennifer Hughes, has led schools through these discussions.

Background:
|
In the Quarter 4 Chats, schools have engaged in the next phase of the school improvement planning process; consideration of revisions to SIPs. In planning for next school year, schools have undergone focused reflection on the current SIP, identified root causes of our predictable problems, and will use that information to inform potential edits to SIPs. SIPs should be viewed as multiyear documents, therefore in a majority of cases, edits may be more nuanced in nature.
The goal of these workshops is for school teams to develop a shared understanding of the root causes within SIP goal areas and identify high-leverage strategies to facilitate improvement. To achieve this outcome, school teams come to the chat having: reviewed last year’s SIP with identified areas of success and continued focus, used key data elements to inform discussions for the coming year, and have identified predictable problems in each SIP area.
Please view the attached PowerPoint and notes for a more detailed understanding of the work taking place with school teams.
