There is definite buy-in for the continuation of my Change Project into the 2016-2017 school year. I have spoken with several teachers at various grade levels who want to continue the Power Team meetings next year. I have also had contact with about five teachers at various grade levels who would like to participate for the first time next school year. Although our PTO has been approving funds for our materials, I will be working on additional outside funding (grants, Shoparoo, etc.) to assist with the cost of materials for next school year. I have a meeting with my principal on Monday and I am confident she will support the Power Team and its continuance.
What steps have you taken to insure success of implementation?
I have already had discussions with the other Power Team members about continuing the meetings next year. We have brainstormed ideas for next year's dates and the teachers are already looking forward to preparing for the 2016-2017 Power Team meetings. We have worked together to come up with an informative invitation flyer for the parents and have discussed ways to present more data at our Power Team parent meetings. I also suggested that we present the Power Team information during our Open House meetings to entice parents to attend.
You definitely have buy-in! I think having strong buy-in from your primary teachers and families will help build the foundation for future participation in the intermediate grades.
ReplyDeleteI think your project has had HUGE success! I'm so glad you are continuing this for next year and years to come. Eventually it will be just part of the school (like Open House is) and I'm sure you will figure out any of the small glitches too! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is awesome how things are moving along! Did you get my pony envelope of box-tops as my donation to the fund? I sent it a while back and kept forgetting to ask you about it. I know how in demand those items can be so I wanted to insure they made their way to you!
