Steps in Developing a Deployment Plan 1. Determine where you want to end up as a result of deploying a

systems approach to continuous improvement. What do you envision your school looking like in two years? Five years? Ten years? Consider these questions:• What do you envision classrooms and work units in your

school looking like in five years?• Is anyone close to that vision as of today? How did they do

it?

2. Determine who you are deploying to and prioritize these deployment target groups. In other words, determine where you need to start.

3. Identify strategies and supporting training, coaching, and/or consulting to be used in deploying to the prioritized target groups.

Steps in Developing a Deployment Plan 4. Develop action plans for the implementation of each deployment

strategy – action steps, timelines, process manager, success measures.

5. Set and calendar a date for review and update of the deployment plan.

6. Implement the action steps.

7. Review deployment data on the agreed-upon date. Is anyone close to the vision of full deployment as of today? How did they do it?

8. Update the deployment plan—refine and improve strategies and action steps and adjust timelines including calendaring a ‘new’ date for review of the plan—based on review of deployment data.

Hand-out page 7

In 5 years we hope to see…• Everyone – administrators, teachers, support staff, office

staff, cafeteria workers, custodians, students and their families – would know what we mean when we say we use continuous improvement principles and practices.

• Everyone would have goals for their work that support our school improvement plan.

• Everyone would be able to collect and use data to guide their decision making.

• Everyone would be able to regularly and frequently evaluate and improve processes.

• All staff would be actively engaged in our school improvement process.
