BISD Future Ready Action Plan 2020-2026
April 2020
Our district strives to empower our community, staff, and students to achieve their full potential through a systematic approach fostering a culture of digital learning and innovation. BISD is at a pivotal point to advance into the changing landscape of learning; research-based trends have increased opportunities for learning through the use of student-centered instruction, blended learning, and personalized professional learning environments. Our leadership team will leverage technology as a tool to amplify learning opportunities for all stakeholders.
Our district has taken initial steps:
* Creation of ISET Department
* Consistent Bilingual/ESL Dept. Support
* 2nd grade ipad 1:1 Initiative
* 4th-5th Coding at all Elementary Campuses
* 5th grade tablets Initiative
* Multi-platforms/OS adoption and promotion
* Campus autonomy for technology purchases
* Increased participation for district leaders for innovation and technology conferences
Goal
Technology will be implemented following the Future-Ready Framework and used to increase the effectiveness of student learning, instructional management, staff development, and administration. (TEA Ch. 4 Obj. 10)
Leadership Statement
8
Theory of Change
The adoption of innovation occurs in predictable, predetermined patterns that can strategically be analyzed and planned accordingly. BISD will build capacity through a phased rollout following best practices and research-based models of the adoption of innovation and change management.
The district is ready to move beyond a trainer of trainers model to a more inclusive, interconnected approach involving instructional integration specialists through robust, online professional learning networks (PLN) and effective coaching, improving teacher practice and outcomes for all learners.
The district will address the needs for professional development by differentiating and personalizing opportunities for PD by building capacity through year-long, semesterly cohorts of innovative teachers and early adopters (10-16%) in all grade levels during the initial phase (years 1 and 2). BISD will establish an online academy for PD through micro-credentials and verifiable badges that will be customized and adapted to the needs of our educators and leaders. The second phase (year 3 and 4) will open up for the early majority (17%-34%), leveraging on the capacity built during the initial phase. This second phase will also allow for a more successful implementation, since technology champions developed during the first phase will serve as beacons of innovation throughout schools. The third phase (years 5 and 6) will target the late majority (17%-34%) and set a path to becoming a digital learning district envisioning virtual online schools, distance learning, and future innovations.
BISD Future Ready Action Plan 2020-2026
Reading is fundamental to the success of a student and should be a foundational component in elementary. A strong focus on literacy in elementary will have a ripple effect on our students effectively making them lifelong learners.
Secondary education will focus on core academic areas, while allowing non-core teachers who have exhibited practices that qualify them for the initial phase of implementation.

Comprehensive Support Strategy: PBMAS: Critical Success Factors: CSF 1, CSF 2 Select a Model to Facilitate Change 1) Research and select or adapt a model that will guide the change that needs to take place in your district. Choose a research-based model based on context and needs as determined by a needs assessment such as Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model, the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM), Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations, and Ely’s Conditions for Change. Resources for becoming familiar with different models for facilitating change are available online and in print, like James Ellsworth’s Surviving Change: A Survey of Educational Change Models, which provides an overview of a variety of models designed for different purposes.

Comprehensive Support Strategy: PBMAS: Critical Success Factors: CSF 3 Recruit Agents of Change 2) Identify who the agents of change are at the district and school level. Kotter (1995) suggests that one of the key errors organizations make is not recruiting the right people to lead and facilitate change. Rogers (1983) identifies categories of individuals in terms of their response to innovations, suggesting that those who are both respected by others and open to trying new things should be included in the planning process, as their support is essential to the success of change efforts in an organization. Begin conversations, individual and collaborative, with these individuals, in order to establish a common set of issues to address and a sense of urgency for making changes to address them.

Comprehensive Support Strategy: PBMAS: Critical Success Factors: CSF 1 CSF 3 CSF 7 Establish a Plan for Change 3)Consider a “plan” for change. While change is necessary for continuous improvement, leading change is a complicated process that requires substantial attention and planning. The research on planned change (Ely, 1990; Fullan, 2005; Kotter, 2007) suggests that the following conditions must exist for change to occur: •a perceived need to change •clearly defined roles for leaders, teams, and individuals •a clear and well-communicated vision •necessary knowledge, skills, and resources •strong commitment by all stakeholders •short-term success are built-in and rewarded •new approaches are clearly connected to success. Create a plan for change the addresses these components, and others that may arise during the needs assessment. Include leadership roles and responsibilities across stakeholders to gain buy-in and increase the chances for success.

Theory of Change
The adoption of innovation occurs in predictable, predetermined patterns that can strategically be analyzed and planned accordingly. BISD will build capacity through a phased rollout following best practices and research-based models of the adoption of innovation and change management.
The district is ready to move beyond a trainer of trainers model to a more inclusive, interconnected approach involving instructional integration specialists through robust, online professional learning networks (PLN) and effective coaching, improving teacher practice and outcomes for all learners.
The district will address the needs for professional development by differentiating and personalizing opportunities for PD by building capacity through year-long, semesterly cohorts of innovative teachers and early adopters (10-16%) in all grade levels during the initial phase (years 1 and 2). BISD will establish an online academy for PD through micro-credentials and verifiable badges that will be customized and adapted to the needs of our educators and leaders. The second phase (year 3 and 4) will open up for the early majority (17%-34%), leveraging on the capacity built during the initial phase. This second phase will also allow for a more successful implementation, since technology champions developed during the first phase will serve as beacons of innovation throughout schools. The third phase (years 5 and 6) will target the late majority (17%-34%) and set a path to becoming a digital learning district envisioning virtual online schools, distance learning, and future innovations.
BISD Future Ready Action Plan 2020-2026
Reading is fundamental to the success of a student and should be a foundational component in elementary. A strong focus on literacy in elementary will have a ripple effect on our students effectively making them lifelong learners.
Secondary education will focus on core academic areas, while allowing non-core teachers who have exhibited practices that qualify them for the initial phase of implementation.
115
Personalized Professional Learning
Vision
Expand ongoing access to high-quality personalized professional learning opportunities for teachers, administrators, and other education professionals that focus on providing job-embedded, authentic experiences that develop agency, leadership, and 21st century skills among all stakeholders.
BISD Future Ready Action Plan 2020-2026

The district will provide opportunities for personalized professional development through blended and online competency-based systems, while modeling 21st century skills.
