WHAT IS IT?

The mission statement ensures that the entire team understands WHO is involved, WHAT is to be accomplished and HOW it will be achieved.

 

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

The Wilson School Improvement Team will develop a School-Wide PDSA Writing Framework by actively working and learning together as a team.

WHEN IS IT USED?

• Developed during the first or second meeting of a new team.
• Reviewed periodically during additional meetings.
• Supported and confimed through established Ground Rules.

HOW IS IT MADE?

1. Brainstorm throughts and ideas around your team's issue(s) or goal(s). Capture the Big Ideas on a piece of paper.
2. Each member individually and silently drafts a statement that includes WHO, WHAT and HOW.
3. When all statements have been written, begin sharing statements by passing them to the left. The reader will underline words and phrases they believe should be in the final version of the statement. Pass the statement to the left 3 times. If someone has already underlined a phrase you like, underline it again. This is a voting process. After, passing papers 3 times, pass the statements back to the writer. Review your own paper and underline any key words on your page, too.
4. Identify and discuss the most popular words and phrases. It also can be valuable to discuss minority opinoins (single lines). Reach consensus on the key ideas that should be in the final version.
5. As a team, choose the final WHO, WHAT and HOW for the Mission Statement.
