So how might this inform the next set of revisions? Micro – done outside of this room Macro – done now

Should we cut some values & priorities? Still have time No magic minimum

Content of the Plan - Recommendations/Feedback: Combine the values Support and Responsibility Consider combining preparedness and excellence Personalization is both a priority and value - should it just be a priority? Should Early Childhood either be expanded to broader description or become a strategy? Professional Learning - is job-embedded too narrow? Think bigger to the broader educator pipeline? Consider school choice as a priority - Where does it fit? Priority/strategy? Is assessment statement too narrow? Should it be expanded to quality assurance?
