Completing the Self-Assessment Reflection Remember toHeres why
Review existing school plans. Look back at your current SPSA, PSC
Plan, WASC, or any other school plan youve already written when
explaining your school-wide goals and strategies The
Self-Assessment is NOT intended for you to write a NEW school plan.
Engage stakeholders from the beginning. You may invite anyone from
teachers, other school staff, and parents in the Self-Assessment
process, to lend their unique perspectives. Include your School
Site Council, Waiver Leadership Team, or other groups for their
support and insights. The Self-Assessment should be the most
comprehensive, honest reflection of your school possible. The CORE
Waiver is also intended to build school-site capacity through
consistent stakeholder engagement, so this is a great place to
start. Submit your Reflection by Friday, Jan. 24th Send your
completed reflection to [email protected]. [email protected]
The Self-Reflection must be completed before you attend the
Partnership Building Convening Jan. 27-28. You may choose to take
copies for your partner school. 5
