SELECTING A FOCUS AREA
Now that your team has taken a close look at your school’s top area of strength and opportune area for improvement, it is time to identify focus areas for your team’s working condition improvement efforts. Your team may choose to focus at either the condition or survey item level. Keep in mind the more focused your improvement efforts are, the more quickly you are likely to see results.
As your team moves toward selecting an area on which to focus improvement efforts, we invite you to consider a range of factors beyond the numerical score. To guide your selection, discuss the following questions with your team:
- What condition and/or survey items are likely to make the biggest difference in teacher working conditions?
- If improved, which condition and/or survey items might make a difference most quickly?
- What could we do most readily to improve a working condition and/or survey items?
- Which condition and/or survey items may connect with existing efforts and values if focused on?
- What actions to improve working conditions and/or items are likely to most clearly signal intent to support?
Based on the discussion of the questions above, complete Worksheet 8 by identifying the strengths your team plans to leverage and the condition and survey items on which improvement efforts will focus.
