www.engageNY.orgwww.engageNY.org 2

Tonight’s agenda

• Bright spots panel• Expectations for NTs/NTEs

• BREAK

• Reviewing the workbook• Reflecting on your district survey

data• Refining your turnkey plans


Find your bright spots

“When it's time to change, we must look for bright spots -- the first signs that things are working, the first precious As and Bs on our report card.

We need to ask ourselves a question that sounds simple but is, in fact,

deeply unnatural: What's working and how can we do more of it?”

- Chip and Dan Heath, authors of Switch


Bright spots panel

• Courtney Jablonski - Washington, Saratoga, Warren, Hamilton, Essex (WSWHE) BOCES Network Team

• Maria Papa - Madison-Oneida BOCES Network Team

• Lorna Washington - Rochester City School District Network Team


The Role of NTs/NTEs

• Support your district/districts’ CCSS, APPR, DDI implementation

• Understand district needs and develop a turnkey plan to provide support in these areas: Implementation of CCSS shiftsCCSS/APPR alignmentAPPR ImplementationDDI Implementation


The Role of NTs/NTEs: Developing Turnkey Plans

Wednesday night: Each NT/NTE will be paired with one other NT/NTE to present its turnkey plan for feedback. Each presentation should last for 10-14 minutes. Presentations should include:•The NT/NTE approach to working with schools/districts•A review of bright spots/examples of successes in working with your schools/ districts •A review of the biggest challenges to date in working with your schools/districts•The key 3-4 areas of focus that the team thinks will make the biggest impact

Each team will listen to the other team’s presentations and then provide constructive feedback on plans based on a protocol. Staff are available for consultation and feedback.

Why We Need NTs/NTEs


Stretch and transition

• Rochester and Buffalo teams: Move to Capital

• Everyone else: Remain in the courtyard


Switch Refresher


Developing/Refining your Plan: Begin with Shaping the Path

Developing/Refining your Plan: Begin with Shaping the Path

Refresher: What are Critical Moves?

•They start with the destination in mind •They articulate how people should act•They begin with an achievable first step

www.engageNY.orgwww.engageNY.org13


Critical Moves: 1% Milk

The USDA wanted people to eat healthier, but that task seemed daunting. Researchers decided on a critical move: Recommend consumers to switch to 1% milk.

14

Researchers created ads showing how a glass of milk contains as much fat as three strips of bacon and displayed mounds of fat at press conferences.


Mapping Your Critical Moves

15

Critical Move 1: Review CCSS resources on www.engageny.com and plan PD sessions for districts and principals around observing the ELA/literacy shifts

Critical Move 2: Support your districts in mapping out a transition plan for CCSS math implementation until modules are available

Critical Move 3: When the math modules are available, use your data to help each district in your NT/NTE decide how to use the modules


Refresher: How Can You Rally the Herd?

•Learn what motivates those around you•Use those motivations to encourage behaviors related

to change•Promote behaviors that reinforce change•Make change the new norm


Motivating the Elephant: Rally the Herd

• Behavior is contagious: You do things because your peers do them.•Overeating•Getting married, having kids•Shaking hands to greet someone•Wearing fashionable fluffy boots•Buying an iPhone

• Think about your “customers” (school and district educators) inside your sphere of influence. What motivates them?


Workbook Refresher


The Workbook

• Major components:

•NY State 2012-13 Metrics

•District Survey

•District Implementation Readiness Rubric and Superintendent Worksheet

•NT/NTE Turnkey Plan Template and Checklist

•District Plan Template and Checklist

19


Using the Workbook

• Step 1: Internalize metrics

• Step 2: Assess district and regional status of implementation efforts (Survey is done!)

• Step 3: Build regional turnkey plans

• Step 4: Help your districts build district plans • Step 5: Implement and adjust plans

20


Using the Workbook

Through www.polleverywhere.com, please respond to the following statements:1.Our NT/NTE has found the workbook materials to be

• Very useful• Useful• Not very useful• Not useful at all

2.The most useful tool in the workbook has been• The NY State Metrics• The District Implementation Readiness Rubric• The Sample NT/NTE Turnkey Plan• The District Superintendent Regional Implementation Analysis• Other

3.What our NT/NTE needs next is:• Help in drafting an implementation turnkey plan• Feedback on our written plan• Examples of other plans• Webinars with other NTs/NTEs to learn from others and share what we’re learning

21


Give Us Your Feedback!

Throughout the week, let us know:

•What tools, materials, information, etc. would help your implementation efforts?

•Jot down ideas, suggestions, comments on post-its

•Post on the flip chart in the back of the room

22


Analyzing Your Data and Identifying Critical Moves


NT/NTE Worksheet: Working with Schools/Districts

Your data probably show that different schools and districts in your district/region will need different types of support.

Two new worksheets – one for NTs and one for NTEs - provide guidance on how to focus support for schools/districts based on their overall readiness.

Insert the worksheets into your workbook!

24


NT/NTE Worksheet: Working with Schools and Districts

25

Key question to consider about your

districts

Examples of actions the

NT/NTE can take if district is

receiving mostly 3s and 4s on

the Readiness Rubric

Examples of actions the

NT/NTE can take if district is

receiving mostly 1s and 2s on

the Readiness Rubric


NT Example

Does the district have its own CCSS implementation plan?

26


NTE Example

Does the school have its own CCSS implementation plan?

27


Looking Inward: Reflecting on Your DataSpend the next fifteen minutes reviewing your District Survey data and District Readiness Rubric results with your team.

While reviewing, try to consider the following:•What in the data surprises you? •What in the data concerns you?•How do the data affect your critical moves? Do you need new/different critical moves in your implementation plan?

28


Turnkey Plans: How Ready is Your Team?

29


What Are Our Critical Moves?

Using everything we’ve discussed tonight – the survey and rubric data, remembering “inch pebbles” and “achievable first steps,” thinking about contagious behaviors, and the new worksheets – jot down new or refined critical moves for your plan.


Your Plan on the Spectrum

We have placed a spectrum of confidence on the wall behind you. Using the sticky notes on your table, place your dot on the spectrum in response to the following question:•How confident are you that your NT/NTE turnkey implementation will bring about the type of changes and results you are hoping for?

31

Very ConfidentNot Confident At All


The Role of NTs/NTEs: Developing Turnkey Plans

Wednesday night: Each NT/NTE will be paired with one other NT/NTE to present its turnkey plan for feedback. Each presentation should last for 10-14 minutes. Presentations should include:•The NT/NTE approach to working with schools/districts•A review of bright spots/examples of successes in working with your schools/ districts •A review of the biggest challenges to date in working with your schools/districts•The key 3-4 areas of focus that the team thinks will make the biggest impact

Each team will listen to the other team’s presentations and then provide constructive feedback on plans based on a protocol (to be provided tomorrow evening). Staff are available for consultation and feedback.

32


Refine Your Plans

• Work with your team to build, finish or improve your plansUse the workbookUse the checklistBuild in the solutions you just heardMake it actionable, achievable and bold
