When designing change, teams reflect on their pilots and choose appropriate next steps that reflect the needs and priorities of students, families, teachers, and classified staff.
When designing change, teams use data from a pilot in order to determine whether the planned change should be scaled.
When designing change, teams pilot their prototypes to assess strengths and weaknesses of a solution before implementing the solution across the district.
When designing change, teams make sense of input and feedback from students, families, teachers, and classified staff to identify what changes are needed and what those changes might look like.
