Slide 22 Questions Slide 23 Values Defined Definition of Value: a
set of beliefs that have profound and enduring meaning and can (and
should) be visible in every major decision we make and in the
educational system we manage. Role of Values: Value statements
unify our team, and later, our state around a common purpose. Slide

the Filter on Actual Examples Does Quality teachers and
administrators pass the test? Where is the value that its trying to
get at? How does it do with our filter? Close to your heart the
soul/foundation of the plan, strong belief, core aspiration North
Star for the system guide for all major priorities in the plan and
later for implementation Content neutral clear and understandable
concept, absent of jargon, not specific to single part of education
system Slide 26 Developing Values: Yes Test 1.28.15 2. The North
Star for our work? A concept so important it cannot be abandoned or
ignored. Everything we do can support and be guided by this value.
3. Content neutral? Not specific to only a single part of our work
meaningful to everyone, without jargon. It makes you think, This
makes sense. I dont need specific context or explanations to
understand it. Is the value 1. Close to our hearts? Does it makes
you think: Heck yes! Of course! Doesnt this go without saying? Can
it be used as Is the statement Slide 27 Using our Priority Yes Test
Slide 28 Priority? Lets discuss. Is it a priority? Ex. 2 Giving
each child a laptop Priority Tests The Action: a specific action
that can make a significant impact The Data: informed by data and
best practices The Umbrella: covers all the major subparts that
make up the idea it is the stand alone big idea The Balance Beam:
balances a focus on future vision with present problem solving. It
is aspirational and audacious.
