- Convene workgroups of stakeholders — students, teachers,
education support professionals, administrators, parents, community
members.
- Stakeholder groups brainstorm forces or conditions
that could or do drive (encourage, assist) open, nonthreatening
communications in the school community between:
- School board and administration
- School employees and administration
- School administration and others (parents, students, community)
- Teachers and others
- Stakeholder groups brainstorm forces or conditions
that could or do provide barriers or resistance to maintenance of
nonthreatening communications in the school community between:
- School board and administration
- School employees and administration
- School administration and others (parents, students, community)
- Teachers and others
- Stakeholder groups discuss the lists they have
brainstormed and eliminate those items that do not now (and are
not likely to in the future) play a significant role in driving
or restraining open, nonthreatening communications in the school
community. (Use Current Reality/Desired
Reality.)
- Put together cross-stakeholder group work teams
(teams including one or more representatives of each stakeholder group
you have involved in the process).
- Cross-stakeholder group work teams examine and
discuss the stakeholder work group generated lists of driving forces
that could support open nonthreatening communications within the
school community.
- Cross-stakeholder groups draw up a list pairing
forces that could drive open, nonthreatening communications with
counterpart or related forces that tend to counteract each driving
force and in that way restrain such open, nonthreatening communications.
