Step 1: Brainstorm aspects
What are aspects of a comprehensive statewide system of adult learning that is based on the PD Vision and Standards and purposefully integrated to improve implementation of IDEA?
Ideally, a statewide comprehensive PD system for IDEA is…
Inclusive of… Based on…Supported by… Informed by…Compliant with… Accountable to…Grounded in… Independent of…
Informally talk & take notes.
1-25-05 37
Write overhead transparencies.
Agree on 3-5 aspects to share from your table.
Write one idea per overhead.
Complete the sentence starter:
Ideally, a statewide comprehensive PD system for IDEA is…
Inclusive of… Based on…Supported by… Informed by…Compliant with… Accountable to…Grounded in… Independent of…
1-25-05 38
Step 2: Clarify & classifyAuthors: Briefly clarify the system aspect.
Listeners: Ask questions of clarification not evaluation.
(Suspend judgment in order to understand.) Delete your overhead if another table says the same thing. (Avoid redundancies.)
Volunteer sorters: Cluster like ideas. Write cluster headers that complete the sentence starter. Sub-sort similar ideas within each cluster.
1-25-05 39
Step 3: Prioritize
Get 3 dots, color-coded per your partner group.Yellow – policy makersRed – administratorsGreen – service providersBlue – families and advocatesBlack – other
Put your dots on the 3 MOST HELPFUL system components (headers).
Use your own selection criteria.
After break…self-select to component for strategizing
1-25-05 40
Step 4: Identify strategies
Given our current context, what are 2-3 specific actions that I, my organization, or we can commit to by the May meeting to contribute to our progress towards this system component?
Brainstorm individually or with neighbors.Share strategies with small group.
Look for partners with similar ideas.
