  1. Planning for 2008-09 Conversations with Curriculum and School Improvement Consultants

  2. Needs Identified by LOFT • Increase the capacity of our people and those we serve • Help address insatiable demand for our products or services • Create integrated solutions • Create and foster opportunity-creating teams that are integrated and innovative • Increase our ability to be flexible and adaptable to meet changing needs and contexts

  3. LOFT priorities • Begin the development of integrated teams to create and deliver agency products and services • Begin development of agency wide measurement system • Create an agency decision documentation system

  4. Today’s Focus Begin the development of integrated teams to create and deliver agency products and services. An integrated regional team is comprised of expertise in math, literacy, science, school improvement, assessment, technology, learning supports, diverse learning, special education and leadership. The purpose of the team is to collaboratively create innovative solutions for children and schools.

  5. Why integrated teams? From • Building based special ed and agency wide consultants working in relative isolation • Working on core, supplemental and intensive instruction separately • Viewing own data sets to address specific problems To • Teams who can learn and share with one another • Working together on the entire system of instruction • Viewing a shared data set to create integrated holistic solutions

  6. What Will Remain The Same? • Links • State/Agency wide work • Discipline team planning and professional development • Flexibility/Adaptability to support colleagues in building their capacity

  7. What Might Change For You? • Supervision • Possibly region assignment • More opportunities to plan and work with region specific staff

  8. WIFM (What’s in it for me?) Opportunity to: • Develop a greater appreciation and understanding of the “Agency work” • Influence Agency and Region Professional Development • Build strong networks for peer coaching/collaboration and on-going Professional Development

  9. WIFM (What’s in it for me?)
