Action Plan
The following is a copy of an email sent to all Coaches from Jim O'Toole:  Coaches,  Thanks for a productive meeting this morning. I believe we all learned a lot. As I shared, many of your cohort 2 teams are ready for construction of their individual action plans. I have attached the template. The way it worked last year was when the team member competed the action plan, with your and the team's assistance, a copy was sent to me. I gave some feedback and suggestions for the member to consider to improve the plan. One area of importance is to have measurable, realistic results so one knows if the action plan was attained. As John emphasized, the evaluators will be analyzing the effectiveness of the action plan success. I also attached an action plan team review document and an article on action plans. As Ann Delehant said, the cool feedback is the hardest so team members have to take leadership if another team member needs help with an action plan.  If you have any questions at anytime, please let me know. The target for action plan completion is **March 30th** or sooner. Cohort 1 began action plan implementation as soon as their action plan was completed in the March-April timeframe. Cohort 2 seems to be progressing as rapidly, with your excellent assistance, as cohort 1.  Again, I am available whenever you need assistance.  Thanks again for a fine day.  Jim  P.S. All teams members, including the principal, are expected to complete an action plan. Equal among equals.   Jim O'Toole, Ed.D.
