So how might this inform the next set of revisions?

• Micro – done outside of this room• Macro – done now

Should we cut some values & priorities?

• Still have time • No magic minimum

Content of the Plan - Recommendations/Feedback:

• Combine the values Support and Responsibility• Consider combining preparedness and excellence• Personalization is both a priority and value - should it just be a priority? • Should Early Childhood either be expanded to broader description or become a

strategy? • Professional Learning - is job-embedded too narrow? Think bigger to the broader

educator pipeline?• Consider school choice as a priority - Where does it fit? Priority/strategy? • Is assessment statement too narrow? Should it be expanded to quality assurance?
