Element B3: A Workable Plan for School-Wide Integration

Description: The plan for CT implementation describes the major activities, goals, milestones, and metrics to determine success, including identifying in-class periods or specific content areas CT integration will be implemented in. This plan accommodates the needs of individual learners and teachers, is revised periodically based on rounds of input from stakeholders and includes routines for communicating among stakeholders.

What effective implementation looks like:

A written plan is accessible to myself and other members of the school community when needed
The plan describes all major activities clearly and succinctly and explains how the activities complement or co-exist with other school initiatives. It also identifies metrics to determine if progress is being made towards achieving the goals
All major stakeholders in the initiative regularly assess and discuss—using mutually established methods (e.g., via e-mail or during monthly meetings)—the initiative's progress
Challenges and successes are frequently discussed and clearly communicated among stakeholders, and includes practices for changing plans based on discussions or to accommodate new data
The plan includes explicitly-stated expectations around when CT can be integrated within class time, and allows for me to have autonomy to adapt activities and lesson plans to integrate CT into the content area
The plan includes a strategy for sustainability, such as routines, increasing the amount of teachers integrating CT over time or developing CT teacher leaders that can support teacher-to-teacher coaching

Self-Reflection Question: Does my school provide me, other teachers, professional development providers, and support staff with opportunities to collaborate and construct a workable plan for CT integration? What supports do I need to help me achieve my goal?
