Steps 2 & 3: Beliefs and Consensus

Attention to consensus means that staff and administration understand the "why" behind change and have a voice to productively ask questions and participate in decision-making. Consensus rests upon the belief that we are better together, and different perspectives make our action planning better. Consensus should be attended to throughout the continuous improvement process. In Universal Tier, teams should specifically examine beliefs about universal tier, as well as create an environment of open communication, so that practices can be honestly examined and prioritized. This page provides a variety of think-abouts and action steps to attend to Universal Tier Beliefs and Consensus.
