  26. PLANNING ADVOCATES • Focus: futures forecasting, educational programming, facility planning, consensus building • Consulting services based on field experience and successful practice • Our consensus-building process is specific: • Relies on listening, dialogue, consensus-building • Honors both community and school interests • Capitalizes on skilled facilitation • Proposes best alternative(s) “owned” by community members

  27. COMMITTEE PURPOSE Develop consensus and commitment to an updated plan for Lakewood school facilities - not to enforce our preconceived notions of a personal solution

  28. APPROACH Authentic, inclusive community and school participation Pertinent, credible data Skillful facilitation: consultant, Phase 3 Committee members Consensus-based progression Program-driven within practical parameters— financial capacity and prudent implementation of long range facilities vision

  29. BUILDING CONSENSUS Requires framing a proposal after listening carefully to credible data and others’ concerns Expectation is that no one will ask anyone else to undermine his/her community interests Responsibility of everyone is to come to consensus conclusions for educating future students

  30. FACILITATING CONSENSUS Engages all members in a useful dialogue that contributes to consensus Includes the participation of all members in reaching the consensus Seeks nearly unanimous commitment concerning the consensus statement

  31. PROCESS Analyze critical information and identify essential issues for community dialogue Forum I—Confirm priority issuesunderlying changes, programs, facilities and costs Identify viable optionsbased on community consensus priorities Forum II—Establish community consensus options for resolving priority issues Proposal with rationale

  32. FACILITATED COMMUNITYFORUM I Open forum context Present vision and critical planning data Dialogue stakeholders on important issues Dialogue within small facilitated groups Purpose: awareness, understanding, common ground, consensus on issues

  33. ASSESSING VIABLE OPTIONS Based on vision and critical planning data Grounded in consensus forum results; NOT just the majority of all responses Results from consensus building among the committee members Leads to proposed alternative future options Strategic in nature

  34. FACILITATED COMMUNITYFORUM II Same open forum context Present vision and alternative future options Facilitate small groups re: options Report consensus of small groups Purpose: seek large group consensus for preferred alternative(s)

  35. RESULTS Baseline data analyzed Significant community involvement: Phase 3 Committee and community-at-large at forums Consensus on critical issues and preferred alternative(s) to resolve the issue(s) Skilled facilitation, dialogue and civility—Trust the Process Lakewood facilities plan proposal: program-driven within established parameters

  36. SMALL GROUP-LARGE GROUP • Issue: need outpaces capacity or expectation • Table discussion: • Facilitator • Recorder/reporter (can be same as facilitator) • Issues facing Lakewood regarding long range facilities plan and available resources • Large group “report out” of top 3 issues

  37. COMMITTEE ORGANIZATION • Communications • Recruit and promote attendance at forums • Coordinate logistics/materials • Data • Salient information summary (handout) • Forum presentations • Dialogue • Discussion guide (survey and response) • Small group/large group reporting
