Reflecting on Cultural Shifts
Individually roll the dice and answer the question for the corresponding number
1. What is one current shift of success for your school?
2. What is one shift that will be easy for your school?
3. What is one aspect of your school that will prove to be a major obstacle?
4. What is one shift that your school will not be able to address at this time?
5. What is one area that you will need further support (ie. Model schools, additional reading, etc.)
6. What is a next step for your school in addressing the literacy culture?
