EXAMPLE #1
A history of CCA and families – Principal, teachers, and

EXAMPLE #2
February 2008: Staff development – a hard look at 40 assets, data trends, and a look at Hot 20 arranged by Principal and SLC leaders
Follow up staff meeting to introduce all teachers to some
best practices.
Think about a program you would like to start implementing, continue supporting, or begin restructuring. Or, choose a problem that needs addressing. Consider the key leaders on your campus. What are their primary duties? How do these support your focus task?
ASSIGNMENT:
Option 1: Create your own Web
Diagram the interactions between the key figures needed to meet the desired goal. How will the key figures be involved? What are their responsibilities? Who will need to interact? Indicate areas of strength. How can these be sustained? Where are the areas for improvement? How might these concerns be remedied? What do you feel needs to be done to make this happen? How can you go about achieving this?
Option 2: Create an Action Plan
Create a step-by-step action plan for your focus task. How will the key figures be involved? What are their responsibilities? Who will need to interact? Indicate areas of strength. How can these be sustained? Where are the areas for improvement? How might these concerns be remedied? What do you feel needs to be done to make this happen? How can you go about achieving this?
