12. Planning with the End in Mind
What should we see and hear from Educators?
What should we see and hear from Families?
This step is important in the planning process. If we implement this well, what should we expect to see in staff an families. What are we shooting for. Important for staff to articulate this during planning. Do they know what they are There are also know surprises on what stuff will be observed on. Staff will e observed on how well they’ve implemented these actions. Above. You also know what it is
