As pressures increase on school districts to improve individual student achievement, change goes beyond current processes and technology. Educators must learn from industry best practices and understand how to make better use of data to make critical decisions and chart student success. This paradigm shift within a district can be very difficult to manage. In response, Schoolnet’s Roadmap can help provide the blueprint for success and launch reform. Schoolnet will guide your district in becoming a data-driven district analyzing where you are today, where you want to be, and delivering a plan to get there. The end result is that educators at all levels can make informed decisions on how to align instruction to maximize individual achievement.
The collaborative nature of the Roadmap Change Management Assessment engages participants in a facilitated discussion focused on, establishing a shared understanding of a district’s vision of becoming a data-driven district, its current status in comparison to its vision, and the gaps between the two. Through the Roadmap the district will confirm its vision, and district and program goals. Based on this discussion, we will collaborate to design a change management plan, a training plan, and a communications plan.
- Determine its vision for becoming a data-driven, continuous learning environment
- Engage in a self-evaluation of the progress that has been made to realize this vision to identify gaps between current state and envisioned state
- Identify the changes in business practice per constituent and the transitional steps necessary to end the “old way” and move into the beginning of the “new way”
- Develop a professional development plan, tailored to address district, school, and classroom goals, to prepare all staff to use data as a regular part of their practice
- Design the framework of a communications plan that generates excitement, clarifies changes, and sets expectations per constituent group
