Putting It Into Practice

1

Support facilitator preparation:

Partner with facilitators to coordinate logistics, resources, and communication with schools. Align on the district team’s role during the Design Experience to ensure a smooth, cohesive session. Bring helpful context to the table, including school-specific insights and any trends or patterns you’re seeing across schools.

2

Support school teams:

Make sure school teams are ready, including engaging community, revising their Learning Experience, reflecting on conditions, and completing all pre-work. Confirm dates and logistics—travel, sub coverage, materials, etc.—are in place.

3

Align as a district team:

Clarify your district team’s role during the Design Experience so everyone knows when to support, observe, or help synthesize learning.
