    215. The Three Parts of Your Spring Action Plan

    The spring semester will be here soon! So, how do you develop your spring action plan? In this episode, we’re discussing the three parts of your spring action plan. We talk about conducting a thorough needs assessment to gather information for the plan. This includes talking to administrators, hearing from teachers, visiting classrooms, and looking at data. Once you have those four pieces of information, you can turn them into focus areas and goals for your action plan. During the episode, you’ll hear how to use those goals to develop a plan for whole-school professional development (PD), differentiated support for PLC teams, and individual coaching work. You’ll also hear about aligning your goals with your teachers' needs and tiering teacher support. Plus, learn why it’s important to share your plan with your administration.
