If we don’t collaborate how can we know all of the possibilities
that are out there waiting for us.

Why Collaborative Communities?
The Collaborative Communities approach reflects a technical assistance
model of the future in which stakeholders are engaged in solving
critical problems and are supported in their efforts, rather than being told what to do by external sources (NASDE, p. 9).

Year 2 Essential & Probing Questions
• How have you utilized activities/resources from last year’s Collaborative Communities to improve services to SWDs through creation and implementation of appropriate policies and procedures?– What are the biggest challenges you face with
development & implementation?– What resources and supports would help you to improve
this process?– How can you use collaborative communities and your time
with other special education directors to streamline this process?

Goal: Optimize learning foreveryone against the same
standards

District 10 Plan
• Results of formative & summative system data–No two special education directors
have identical abilities, experiences or needs–No two school systems have same
strengths, issues or needs
![Page 28: Collaborative Communities A DOE and GLRS Collaboration 2013 Fall G-CASE Leadership Conference Kimberly Simmons Kathryn Ellis](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551c514d550346b1458b4d49/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
District 10 Plan
• Results of formative & summative survey–Responsive to readiness & interests of
directors• Determined special education directors to act
as “sages”• Determine resources & materials needed by
work-based group
![Page 29: Collaborative Communities A DOE and GLRS Collaboration 2013 Fall G-CASE Leadership Conference Kimberly Simmons Kathryn Ellis](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551c514d550346b1458b4d49/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Differentiated Collaborative Communities
“…like airport hubs; … passengers arrive from many different backgrounds.... Their particular takeoffs ….demand
different flight patterns." • - Dr. Mel Levine
![Page 30: Collaborative Communities A DOE and GLRS Collaboration 2013 Fall G-CASE Leadership Conference Kimberly Simmons Kathryn Ellis](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551c514d550346b1458b4d49/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Differentiated Collaborative Communities
• Action plan– Issues/topics to be addressed–Actions to address issues–Resources needed– Target Dates–Work to be completed between sessions–Next Collaborative Community activity
preparation–Others?

Moving Forward…Advice From Business
• Involve people responsible for implementation• Ensure plan is realistic and collaborative• Integrate into overall mission/purpose• Organize into smaller working plans• Specify who is doing what & when • Specify & clarify implementation roles &
responsibilitiesHarvard Business Publishing, 2011
![Page 33: Collaborative Communities A DOE and GLRS Collaboration 2013 Fall G-CASE Leadership Conference Kimberly Simmons Kathryn Ellis](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551c514d550346b1458b4d49/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Moving Forward…Advice From Business (Continued)
• Build in regular reviews of implementation • Translate into job descriptions & personnel
performance • Communicate & follow-up • Document & distribute• Emphasis feedback
