Communication and Coordination Plan

Purpose: Consider timelines and the person or people responsible for determining any needed changes to resources, personnel, and processes. As you answer these questions, add related action items to your Communication & Coordination Plan

Who will be the point person in the school or district to handle communication about PL (PD and coaching) activities and to help coordinate logistics?

What are any general challenges the team anticipates based on your school’s Infrastructure Profile?

For which meetings will writing performance and instruction be a standing agenda item?

What protocols are in place for identifying students who need additional support?

What existing structures, if any, are used for analyzing and discussing progress monitoring data? How do we monitor student progress to celebrate progress or make adaptations?

What are our school norms around writing instruction across the curriculum?

Who else, in addition to the implementation team, needs to know about the PL focus or be included in further planning and later implementation?

Once plans are in place how often will we (as an implementation team) monitor progress of the plans?

What is the timeline for initial WRITE professional development, beginning WRITE implementation with students, and beginning instructional coaching?

What budget or resources are needed to support successful implementation of the plan(s)?

Communication and Coordination Plan
Plan manager: Ensures plan and progress are logged, checks in with leaders/managers on timeline adherence
Key Insights: Summary statements based on team discussion of data from infrastructure profiler
+: Strength indicated by Infrastructure Profiler
-: Weakness or area of growth indicated by Infrastructure Profiler
Δ: Neutral key insight indicated by Infrastructure Profiler
Relevant Action Step: Feasible action step relevant to the Key Insight
Priority Ranking: All action steps receive a priority ranking relative to all other action steps.
Person Leading/Managing: This person is the “owner” of the action step and will lead progress toward completion.
Target Date(s): Date by which action step will be completed, or dates when significant parts of the action step will be completed.

Classroom Implementation Plan

Purpose: Add the responses to the Classroom Implementation Plan.

In what classrooms (or for which groups of students) will WRITE be used?

Which teachers will administer WRITE in their classrooms?

Who will access and use the WRITE progress monitoring data to inform their writing instruction?

Which teachers will instruct students in writing instruction versus which teachers will prompt and support writing practice?

What is the timeline for beginning WRITE implementation with students?

Adaptive Professional Learning Plan

Purpose: Teachers who administer WRITE will participate in initial WRITE professional development and follow-up instructional coaching. Other teachers may use WRITE data to make instructional decisions and may be part of other professional learning activities. Consider these questions and add the responses to the Adaptive Professional Learning Plan.

Which teachers will administer WRITE in their classrooms?

What new writing instructional strategies, if any, will teachers need to learn about to meet students’ writing instructional needs?

What is the timeline for initial WRITE professional development and beginning instructional coaching?

Which teachers will participate in instructional coaching?

In addition to instructional coaching, what other forms of professional learning will be used?
