How does the Six Year Plan impact our work?

Our role is to support the districts in achieving the state targets.

Our task is to identify specific actions or steps needed to achieve the goals given our knowledge about the district.

Strengths and Needs

Each district and/or regions will have areas of focus in relation to the key targets of the six year plan:

Early Childhood Proficiency Transition Parental involvement Compliance

Work Time

Divide into groups depending on assignment, geographic configuration, etc.

Review the data and the goals. Identify specific steps which need to

occur to help the district achieve the goals.

District Six Year Plans

Review district plan. Consider:1. What questions do we still need to

answer in collaboration with the district?

2. What problems are suggested by the data?

3. What are steps to address the needs?
