Janelle’s Key Points

• LCFF changes focus from compliance to performance.

• LCAP describes what you will do for kids and what you will spend to do so.

• Performance driven - what do all kids need and how will you meet their needs.

• Local Planning - tells the local story based on the local needs and goals.

Initial CategoriesLCAP

• Stakeholder Engagement• Needs (data analysis)• Goals (8 state priorities; all students +

subgroups)• Performance Indicators• Services• Budget

Outcome1. Familiarize ES team members with LCAP

priorities and apply knowledge about Implementation Science drivers to sample LCAP action plans.

2. Create a short, succinct set of action steps

focused on promoting an LCAP priority, learn about implementation drivers, and write several added action steps that reflect each implementation driver.

Our GoalGoal: District will implement six to eight CCSS aligned

units of study in 100% of all ELA classes by the end of the 2016-17 school year.

• District will write three CCSS aligned units of study in the 2013-2014 school year. (Exploration)

• District will write three CCSS aligned units of study in the 2014-15 school year. (Exploration)

• District will train all teachers to implement CCSS aligned units of study and refine CCSS units of study in the 2014-15 school year. (Installation)

• District will continue to support teachers to implement CCSS aligned units of study and refine CCSS units of study in the 2015-16 school year. (Initial Implementation)

• District will fully implement CCSS aligned units of study per year in 100% of all ELA classes in the 2016-17 school year. (Full Implementation)

BrainstormWhat might be the necessary action steps to achieve this goal?

Performance Assessment

Definition: Performance assessments definethe practices that teachers and/or studentswill do differently based on new learning.Performance assessment indicate the” vitalbehaviors” to implement a new practice.Performance Assessments are commonlycalled Practice Profiles.

http://www.touchpointdashboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/measure.jpg

Developing a Practice ProfileList expectations in left column: Identify the “WHAT.”• Discuss list as a whole.

o Is anything missing?o Are there any commonalities that can be combined?

• Assign a letter to each item (A, B, C,…) on left side of chart paper.o Discuss each item individually.

▪ Define/describe the vital behaviors if the “what” is ideally implemented. (Column 4)

▪ Define/describe the vital behaviors if the “what” is acceptably implemented. (Column 3)

▪ Define/describe the vital behaviors if the “what” is partially implemented. (Column 2)

TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP

● Might be thought of as good management.

● The leader guides the overall process and is more “in charge”.

● Used for challenges that :○ We understand and have the skills to fix.○ The path to the solution is largely known.○ There is a clear agreement on what needs

to be done and how to do it.

http://nirn.fpg.unc.edu/learn-implementation/implementation-drivers/leadership

Technical Leadership

Technical Challenges Technical Responses

● Views and values are aligned

● Definition of problem is clear

● Solution and implementation of solution is relatively clear

• Setting goals & use your norms • Managing time and effort

• Solving problems of known dimensions

• Clarify roles and responsibilities

http://nirn.fpg.unc.edu/learn-implementation/implementation-drivers/leadership

ADAPTIVE LEADERSHIP● Required in the zone of complexity where

there is little agreement and less certainty. ● The leader is not the primary locus of

responsibility.

● Needed to manage the change process when systems are being changed on purpose.

● Used for challenges that:○ Cannot be solved with existing know-how.○ Require confronting conflict and changing

hearts/ minds is needed.○ Involve differing perspectives among

stakeholders.○ Requires learning by all to define the solution. http://nirn.fpg.unc.edu/learn-implementati

on/implementation-drivers/leadership

Adaptive Leadership

Adaptive Challenges Adaptive Responses

• Legitimate competing perspectives emerge

● Definition of problem unclear● Solution and implementation

not clear and requires learning

● Identify the adaptive challenge● Regulate distress● Maintain disciplined attention● Protect all voices● Give the work back to the people

http://nirn.fpg.unc.edu/learn-implementation/implementation-drivers/leadership

RESISTANCE TO CHANGE

People usually do not resist change. They resist:•Loss• Incompetence•Disloyalty

RESISTANCE EMOTIONS

LOSS

INCOMPETENCE

DISLOYALTY

• Identity • Time • Comfort• Resources • Job • Life

• People • Concepts/ Ideas

• Practices

“Who am I, what do I believe?”

“What makes my life/ work meaningful?”

“I don’t know how to do this.”

“Will I be good at this?”
