8. The Goal: The Data Wise process – using data to improve instruction – is an internalized, self-sustaining, school-wide process.

9. Probing Questions – extend the thinking about the desired goal  How do we sustain the work with ongoing turnover in staff?  Is something going to have to “give” in the daily life of school staff so more of the Data Wise work can be done?

10. Project into the future  What does it look like, sound like, feel like having accomplished this endeavor?  Must talk in present tense.  Describe what is in this best case scenario. Do not yet describe how.  Try to remain as tangible as possible (think about culture, conversations, teacher and student work, etc.).

11. Look “back” from the future -- the year 2007 as the past  Describe how this endeavor looked when it started.  Must talk in past tense.  Think about issues, culture, conversations, teacher’s work, student achievement.  Try to remain as tangible as possible.

12. Continue looking “back” – the transition (2007-Future)  How did you address the starting place? How did you move to the “projected present”?  Must talk in past tense.  Relate directly to the previous description of how it looked when it started.  Consider how, when, with what resources, and by whom.
