We suggest attacking these multiple challenges in a holistic way Competency Focused Curriculum Inquiry-Based Learning Intervention/ELL BYOD Educator Effectiveness Improved student learning We suggest attacking these multiple challenges in a holistic way 2 REASONS: There is a high degree of interdependence amongst all these issues. They are converging together and it is artificial to look at them as isolating factors. Two, it’s overwhelming to address each of these factors in a one off manner. It really is a matter of TIME and FOCUS We want to pull everything together in plain English around the unified outcome of IMPROVED STUDENT OUTCOMES

Considering Steps 1-4: Discover and Qualify Task: Brainstorm questions that promote discovery and help qualify a lead? -Are there specific considerations to be aware of when applying the 7 Step process to this solution i.e. Are there warning signs to watch for? Are there specific “green lights” or “red lights” within the 7 steps? -example: if we were talking about intervention/LLI we might highlight that if a decision making process and funding source is not evident, we may not want to move forward or recommend a pilot and instead spend our efforts with a customer that is better prepared to make a decision - OR if we are talking about a digital solution we might want to highlight the “Account Management” step and the resources required to successfully implement a platform at a district scale and whether we have the resources in place
