Accountability (Internal & External)

4. Dad:pmi roles and responsibilities
We are collectively responsible for implementing priority action steps of the District Strategic Plan involving assessment and progress monitoring.
We will use our whole team for input and feedback as we develop products required by action steps.
Each member of the team will need to provide information about the work of DAD:PMI to their relevant stakeholder groups and gather input and feedback from these groups to inform the work.
On a regular basis we will submit our work products to Superintendents Action Team (SAT) and Project Parkway Assessment Advisory for input, feedback, and necessary support for implementation.

15. Logistics and Work Team leader
We expect to convene Work Teams a minimum of one hour but ideally an hour and a half within each DAD:PMI Meeting.
The Work Team Leader ensures facilitation of the work necessary to achieve the stated team goals.
Facilitation and other team roles can be delegated.
Remember team goals are derived directly from the District Strategic Plan priority measurable objectives and action steps. 
While some planning is certainly necessary for the Team Leader and others, you are not responsible for creating an agenda (but if this helps organize your work, feel free to do so!). 
Needed resources will be provided, including work materials and some research or text resources (within a modest budget). 
To accomplish the work, there will undoubtedly be assignments to be accomplished by your work team beyond and between meeting times.
These assignments/action items need to be provided to Ann Wills so they can be posted in our DAD:PMI minutes.

16. Grounding Activity
Reflecting on the bridge metaphor from our first meeting (4 min.):
Collectively decide on a pictorial representation of what your work team contributes to the Parkway Bridge to Mission-Vision
Draw this “Bridge” representation on chart paper at table, include downstream in your picture
Individually think of a student who reminds you of why you wanted to become an educator. (1 min.)
This is whatever story resonates with you personally (success, high achieving, struggling learner, struggling socially-emotionally, young leader, etc.)
Can be a current student or any student from the past
On post-it notes, write a few key descriptors of this student and their needs (2 min.)
In a round-robin fashion (10 min):
State your name and position
Share descriptors of student and how they remind you (I min. or less)
Place post-it on picture that represents where this student was when you first met them

20. Launch the work teams
Develop Team Work Plan

21. work plan categories Research Base and/or Data Collection
Evidence-base foundation to assist with decision making and provide rationale for actions
Terms and Definitions
Seems simple, but if not discussed and agreed upon early in process it can create obstacles. Different vocabulary or multiple meanings for some words and terms can create opportunities for misunderstanding and confusion. Key for clearly communicating to stakeholder groups.
Conceptual Framework
What is the shared model for our thinking and work?
Communication, Feedback, Input
Include time lines for “draft” product and stakeholder feedback and input for “finished” product
Implementation
What supports and resources will be necessary to move from product to practice?
Other?
We are sure there are lots of “other” categories that we have not thought of…
