This slide shows an approach to unified
planning for schools and school districts
First it shows the 8 separate plans
required. The unified planning process works like this:
CLICK 1: First we identify the most
important customer results, goals or purposes we hope to achieve.
CLICK 2
These include, for example, All
students are proficient in reading, math and science, all teachers and
para professionals are highly qualified etc.
CLICK 3
Then we identify headline performance
measures for each customer result, purpose or goal.
CLICK 4
For example, the % proficient in
reading, math and science, the % of highly qualified teachers and the
retention rate for such teachers, etc.
Then we go through the Results-Based Accountability thinking process for each customer result, goal or
purpose:
CLICK 5
The Story behind the baselines for each
measure, the partners who have a role to play in doing better; what
works to do better and our action plan; and how our action plan is to be
funded.
CLICK 6
Then we do the same thing for a set of
appendices
CLICK 7
CLICK 8
These appendices contain backup
information about demographics, secondary performance measures (that
didn’t make the cut as a headline measure but are still important), our
data development agenda so we can continue to improve our data, and our
information and research agenda.
We now have seven components of an
improvement plan, aligned by customer result, goal or purpose, that are
not duplicative.
Then we can identify which of the seven
components go into each of the 8 required plans.
CLICK 9
When it comes time to produce one of
the plans you just copy the appropriate components.
This way you do planning once, in a
more complete and coordinated way and you save on time, paper and
frustration.
