Considerations when Choosing
Strategies and Action Steps
•
•
•
•
Emphasize strategies rather than programs
Analyze resources needed
Consider the timetable
Determine who is responsible for implementation
and monitoring
• Evaluate conditions that must change in order to
implement the strategy/action steps
• Determine the new skills and knowledge that are
necessary to implement - PD
Evaluate Current Strategies
Strategy
What is
the
selected
strategy?
Now
Is it in place?
Has it been
implemented
consistently and
pervasively within
the classrooms
utilizing the
strategy?
Then
What increases
have been
indicated in
student
achievement as a
result of the
implementation of
the strategy?
Work Plan - Action Steps
• Designed to implement the
strategies
• Sequential
• Interrelated processes
Evaluate Action Steps

Question to Consider
Why is professional development
essential to the successful implementation
of the strategic plan?
What is professional development?
Professional development is the process of
improving staff skills and competencies
needed to produce increased educational
achievement for students by creating a
new classroom culture.
Professional Development
• Review the action steps.
• Determine the professional development
necessary to successfully implement the
strategies.
• Design professional development over a
period of time to build from an awareness to
the institutionalization of the strategy.
Long Range Planning for Professional
Development
Robby Champion suggests that professional
development be planned in a three to four year
period which permits professional development to
be differentiated and delivered in four levels:
• Awareness
• Developmental
• Transfer
• Institutionalization

What technical assistance is still
needed to help your school
teams complete their strategic
plan?
