Establish action planning as an integral component of policy and budget development. Prepare an annual community report on the action plan. Report the results to the public in the Town Report or at a School Report Night. Discuss the action plan at PTO meetings. Solicit community input and feedback.
Communication is at the heart of the implementation process.
People are more supportive of changes when they are involved. Keeping everyone involved in the action planning process will ensure their support. Good communication can help maintain the energy and enthusiasm typical of the initial stage of planning throughout the entire process. At a minimum, an action plan needs to be evaluated annually for its effectiveness toward meeting stated student performance targets and revised in light of updated student performance data. Collect the most recent student performance data and compare the results to the performance targets.
