Partner Summit Day 3

Directions:

1. Consider the strategies you lifted yesterday in the Strategy Harvest. 

   • How might you activate these strategies in service of your identified outcomes?

2. Plan: Discuss the actions you will take to progress on your PBL journey: 

   • Review the milestones you crafted on Day 1 - your key actions. 

   • Determine the concrete steps you will need to take to reach this milestone. What strategies might be most effective? What barriers might you need to remove? (Plan)

   • What evidence will you collect (including the Leading Indicator tool data and beyond) to determine if your actions are working? How will you know what’s happening in schools? (Implement & Collect)

   • Determine your plan for reflecting on your progress and time to refine, if necessary. (Reflect, Refine)

   • Add your ideas to the Planning for Action section of your Implementation Plan. 

3. Annotate each row of the Planning for Action section by indicating if you can do this action independently or if you would like support from your DDSL.
