Build Support: Become a Spokesperson For Your New School Day Today, you’ve made a clear, concise presentation of your plan Redesign Team In the coming days, weeks: Leadership Team • Integrate information about your plan into meetings, newsletters, emails, Twitter feeds, etc. – make sure everyone is in the know Teachers and Staff • Share details about your plan AND your process from here • Use your best messengers for each audience Parents, Partners, Students

  11. What Should Your School and District Communicate? • Make sure you are crisp and clear on the benefits and opportunities that your students, teachers, and partners will have with your new school day • Anticipate what each audience will be most interested in and focus on it The Plan or Plans The Process from Here • All TIME Collaborative decisions made by May 1 and shared with district leaders and school teams • The date by when your school and district will make the final decision about going forward – Target Date = May 6th • Anything you know your school AND district still have to finalize before going forward such as: • Secure districts, state, federal, or private funding if necessary for implementation • Any changes needed in the collective bargaining agreement • Transportation modifications

  12. What Happens Next?

  13. Tips for Sharing your Plan for a New School Day and Year DO: DON’T: • Use your Elevator Message and Presentation • Be clear about the benefits and opportunities for your audience • Show how you’ll build on the best things you do now • Remind people how much input you’ve gotten and how many different people have helped develop the plan • Share your plan and the process from here • Coordinate with your District leadership on messaging • Allow time for questions – write down questions when you don’t know the answers • Hide from people or keep your plan a secret • Forget to share start and end times for the day • Assume anyone remembers what you’ve already told them • Have just one person be the messenger • Forget to use your allies and partners to build support • Give up. You’re almost done with your plan. . .

  17. Reflecting on lessons learned Take 5 minutes to reflect what you’ve learned about yourself, your school and community since we began our work together in the Fall. Fold your paper in half lengthwise, write the headings and your thoughts on the paper. Be ready to share with the large group before placing your team’s thoughts in the envelope provided. We’ll return the envelope to you when the next school year begins. I used to think . . . . Now I think . . . .
