PLANNING- HELP PAGE
Planning
looks at the process used to develop district/school/classroom
plans and how the daily work aligns to those plans. Also examined
is how the plans are translated into actions and deployed throughout
the district/school/ classroom. The planning process provides
an opportunity for district/ school students, staff parents
and community to work together in translating state and district
expectations into specific direction. Clear, measurable goals
and a results-orientation provide the focal point for effective
teamwork and appropriate actions to achieve goals. The long-range
plan is the basis for alignment and coordination of work. |
