Implementation Thoughts on Next Steps

Implementation Planning To Dos 1. Urgent - NOW Hiring staff Meeting eligibility requirements Establishing evaluation metrics Establishing systems to support and track implementation Establishing focus groups, workgroups, steering committee 2. First Year Planning - END OF JANUARY Gathering baseline data Establishing implementation plan Identifying stakeholders and partners for planning 3. Planning over 4 years- END OF MARCH Using baseline to inform next steps Engaging stakeholders through focus groups, workgroups, steering committee

Factors Activities Outputs Long-Term Outcomes Short-Term Outcomes Mid-Term Outcomes Impact College Level Coursework SMART Goal Prepare all students for post-secondary success Indicator: % increase in student enrollment in college level coursework Design a comprehensive college and career readiness system Enhance CTE quality and sustain programs Measure 98 baseline data Changes in knowledge, attitude, skills, and beliefs CTE SMART Goal Eliminate the opportunity gap for historically underserved students Indicator: % increase in student completion of at least 2.0 CTE credits What will these activities produce? Implement culturally relevant pedagogy and curriculum Examples: Students are more aware of the benefits of CTE and college level coursework Focus Groups Examples: # students enrolled in CTE, # times teachers are meeting to review student-level data Deliver culturally relevant pedagogy & curriculum Improve 9th grade PLCS NEED SMART GOAL Teachers are more committed to reviewing student- level data All PPS students are graduating from high school prepared for college and career Root-cause and gap analysis Improve school climate and reduce chronic absenteeism Dropout Prevention SMART Goal Implement a multi- tiered system of supports for student engagement Indicator: % growth of 4 and 5 year graduation rates Improve central office responsiveness

Key Historical Lessons Build in adequate time for work to take hold Important to have a plan to act as guide post; you can build towards the plan over time. Alignment to resources to a plan There has been a strong focus on structure as opposed to instruction at the highest levels; time to focus on instruction? Need to measure impact so we know why progress has or hasn t been made.
