27. LOOKING AHEAD TO
THE BREAKOUT
SESSION
TOOLS AND TIME TO PUT THE
MODEL TO WORK

28. IN YOUR FOLDERS FOR TODAY...
THREE DOCUMENTS:
1. A one page graphic of the model from slide 24. There is
also an enlarged poster size graphic at each table and one
per school to take home.
2. The ACL Focusing Guide for School Renewal
3. The ACL Framework for High Integrity & Fidelity
Implementation* and Sustainability
*Defined as implementation that has integrity (fit) for your school and
includes the major and essential elements of the initiative

29. IN THE BREAKOUT SESSION
1. Use the focusing guide to take stock of school practices that
support HIFIS * (*See definition on previous slide)
2. Use the graphic to help you (see handout and poster size
version) to talk about where and how your school has
strengths you can build upon to support HIFIS*.
3. Use the Framework worksheet to identify and plan for ways
you can strengthen Focus, Capacity, Alignment, and Results for
a specific renewal or change initiative**
**Any initiative from your paper plates or your full renewal matrix
