PLANNING FRAMEWORK AND DEFINITIONS
Building on the Existing Foundation…
Foundational Statements and ConceptsBBC Statement of Purpose: Recognizing overt disparities in health, wealth, and education that limit the ability of Alameda County children to all realize their potential, together we will ensure a sustainable multi-sector commitment to improved overall well-being for communities and the people who live in them, from the earliest stage and throughout all stages of life.Key Concepts: Early Programming: Exposures during critical periods early in life, including in utero, may determine the functioning of systems in the body and resulting health and disease later in lifeCumulative Pathways: chronic stress creates wear and tear on your body’s adaptive systems, leading to decline in health and function over time.
Foundational Statements

being; be free from discrimination and violence; be included and valued by a supportive community
III BBC Strategies: The actions BBC will take to
achieve the desired Outcomes. Taken
together, the Strategies communicate the most important actions for
creating changes in skills, knowledge, attitudes,
behaviors and conditions that are needed in to
achieve BBC Outcomes. BBC Strategies cut across
Sectors and may cut across Life Stages.
IV. 5-Year BBC Goals: Statements of what BBC
intends to accomplish over the next 5 years. It is likely that BBC will have Goals related to its Outcomes

1. Discuss the “initial language”• Does it reflect an essential social condition?• What refinements (if any) should be made to the language that is
already there?2. Are there any additional essential social conditions relevant
to your assigned life stage that BBC should be working toward in order to realize the Bill of Rights?
3. Capture the group’s thinking as recommended edits to the initial language. In each case, the Outcome should be a phrase that completes the sentence All (children, adults, etc…) have the benefit of (social condition)_

BBC STRATEGIES PART 2Collaborative Action
Process for Determining Which Strategies to Pursue• Review Strategies (Gallery Walk)• Define criteria for choosing among them• Consider individual top 3 and rationale – relate
to criteria• Ask for top 3 from two or three people and then
work from there to consensus• This will be an iterative process – I will be asking
for clear rationale and asking each of you to listen carefully from a place of inquiry.
Potential Criteria• Consistent with concept of early programming• Consistent with concept of cumulative pathways• Relatively short time-frame for observable
change in social conditions• Leverages assets that already exist in BBC• Emphasizes integration and collaboration• Multi-Sector• Strategy focuses “up-stream”• Relationship to Kresge project• Other?
