Planning Slide - Not to Present

• When you think of our current school vision, our purpose, what words come to mind? (is there a word app or something where this can be done with technology and revealed later?)
• Vision, Mission, Values, Goals - why does it matter?
• Show words from part 1, then show old vision, ask what they notice and what they think. Then share our rationale for why we are changing it.
• Give drafts in pieces and have them put them together to create their own
• What do you feel we should be doing?
• Show process for creation of new vision August 2022-May 2023
• Ask for some testimonials from CILT – please share what the process was like and why you found it valuable.
• Then I will present the final drafts - how does this align to what you put together with your group?
• What does this mean to you and our students? What specific actions do we need to take with our kids, our peers, our community for this mission and vision to come to life?
• Fake Scenario (Theatre) - CILT team act out a scenario if NOT living out the vision vs. living out the vision
• Scenario for all - What would you say if fully living out our vision?
