Continuous Improvement Framework Action Planning Process
Scope What do you like? Do you have critical concerns your table can address by adding or removing anything? • Select facilitator & recorder. • 10 minute discussion. • Capture top 3 points on flip chart paper. • Report.
Scope What remains the same • Maintain two priority periods: birth to three, kindergarten entry • Maintains priority populations What has changed • Emphasize role of families and schools • Clarify what we mean re: people of color, poverty, geographic areas
Scope – New DraftDeveloped during meeting based on member discussion With a commitment to eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in kindergarten readiness, the collaborative will focus on families with children from birth to kindergarten entry, and their schools. We will begin our work in communities* with higher number of children and families of color, living in poverty (below 185% of the poverty line), or parents whose primary language is not English. * School Catchment Areas
