Participants propose a school transformation strategy aimed at improving student learning. As their transformation strategy is implemented, CSLA staff provides coaching. Completion of Ventures includes a presentation, before a panel of peers, reflecting upon the transformation strategy portfolio which reveals the synthesis of participants' experiences and understandings. This portfolio presentation is judged against criteria that relate directly to the seven performance indicators for the Ventures Program. The following is a tentative calendar with training dates for participants joining during the 1999-2000 year.
Dates are subject to change.
