What is a Shared Vision?
• Gather input from all stakeholders
• Series of meetings and processes to hear everyone’s voice
• District, school, and classroom level
The ultimate goal of change is when people
see themselves as shareholders with a
stake in the success of the system as whole.
-Michael Fullan
Shared Vision Defined
• A statement created by gathering input from all stakeholders to help our schools be more focused in helping children reach their goals. The goals are written from the focus areas.
A Process
Creating a Shared Vision that reflects all stakeholders
• Ask the important questions
• Take the time to educate stakeholders
• Survey the interest, support and willingness
Important Sample Questions
1. According to current test scores how are our students doing?
2. What happens to our students once they leave our K-12 system?
3. What will students need to know in the 21st century?
4. If needed, how do we change our current system to meet the needs of all students?
Shared Vision: The Big Ideas
• A shared vision is a guide to ongoing work.
• It allows us to set goals and monitor progress.
• It creates common understandings among stakeholders.
• It allows us to see the big picture and focus on continuous improvement.

KIDS RSU’s shared vision statement : What skills do our kids need to cope with change
and continuously learn for the 21st century?A Brainstorming Technique:
Go around your table and every person has the floor to speak
Creating a Shared Vision Example
Let’s Go Through the Process for the School/Classroom Vision
Identify group roles:
•Facilitator•Recorder•Timekeeper•Reporter•Team Members
Affinity Diagram to create focus areas
• At your table, brainstorm how a school would contribute to the District Shared Vision. Use KIDS RSU #2’s as an example. No talking, only writing!
• Categorize sticky notes into 5-7 columns
• Make headers for each column
• Utilize volunteers to report out on the affinity diagram.
Designing Questions
Generate questions that align the visions from your district to school, & classrooms):
District SV statement: Create learners to cope with change and accept learning as a continuous process in the 21st century.
Possible questions:
What skills do learners need to cope with change in the 21st century?
What skills do teachers need to support students’ learning regarding coping with change?
Turn to a partner and discuss 2-3 more questions from other Shared Vision statements

What do you need to know to develop a Code of Conduct
from the Shared Vision?
Code of Conduct for the School
• Use the shared vision as a guide • Design questions that will elicit behaviors
that will bring shared vision to life• Affinity diagram to brainstorm, sort, and
prioritize needs• PDCA on top 3-5 items • Determine your Code of Conduct• Layout processes and procedure

Questions for the School Code of Conduct
• Shared Vision Statement: Building a Community of Safety and Respect
• Possible questions:– What does it mean to be safe in the
hallway?– What does it mean to be safe in the
bathrooms?– What does it mean to be safe on the
playground?
• What does it look like to work in a whole group?
• What does it look like to work with a partner?
• What does it look like to work in a small group?
• What does it look like to work individually?
Designing Questions to Determine Code of Conduct in the Classroom
Categorize & Prioritize
• Power-voting to prioritize• Using colored dots, vote for your priority
areas (Guideline: give a dot for 1/3 of the options)
• Each dot represents one vote. You can use all dots on one area, or spread them out
• The area with the most dots becomes the first area of focus
•Affinity Diagram to categorize
Set Goals and Cycle Times
• The vision takes time. It isn’t something that you can complete quickly.
• Set up times during the day to work on your vision.
• The vision is a living document that is kept alive through continuous monitoring and adjusting of the goals.
• What does it look like when we leave the room during our class period?
• What does it look like when we have visitors in the room?
• What does it look like when we walk around the room when others are working?
