Networking Forum: LASER Landscape Analysis, Phase 2

This Translation to Leadership event will use the LASER district Self-Assessment tool to engage science leaders in strategic, reflective dialogue around a set of research-based indicators of high-quality science education systems. This Landscape Analysis is being conducted statewide, and LASER will use districts' input from the Self-Assessment tool to shape future programs for science leadership.

For the North Sound and South Sound LASER Alliances, this also means using the Self-Assessment input to broker collaboration between districts with shared interests. District science leaders can bring a district administrator or other leader who can help complete the Self-Assessment and support the ensuing reflective, strategic dialogue around their science education systems.

Introduction to Landscape Phase 2: Purpose & Background
Compact view of Self-Assessment questions.

Networking Forum Outline:

Reflective Dialogue with LASER Self-Assessment tool
Debrief the survey experience
Dialogue around emerging common priorities
Foreshadow strategic collaboration: "District Cousins"

Immediate Reaction

What were your non-cognitive responses as you went through the survey?
What were your cognitive responses as you went through the survey?
What, if anything, did you learn by doing the Self-Assessment?

Agree / Disagree Dialogue:

LASER has curated a comprehensive set of research-based, district-level indicators of healthy, equitable science/STEM learning systems.

Dialogue: Priorities

Organize by common priorities expressed in the Self-Assessment (see priority document).
Why these priorities? Why are they promising to grow ALL students?
What could it look like to work on this priority with "cousin" districts?

What's Next with Phase 2 Self-Assessment Data?

Feb-March: State-wide data collection.
March: Identify major themes of district priorities across LASER Alliances/regions.
April 25: Science Leadership Collaborative (SSLA + NSLA + PSESD) will broker "Cousins Collaborations."
2019-2020: SLC continues to broker Cousins Collaboration & Storytelling.
