» What We Are Learning • “Facilitation is the key in taking people from
where they are to where they want to go. It is not the ‘training’ that we give, but the conversations and the structures that we provide to provide the space to have those conversations.”
• “The power of networking! The discussions and conversations around our theme have been amazing. My job is really to set things up so that the conversation flows, then get out of the way!”

Component III: Networks
» What Questions We Are Pursuing • How quickly can we digest, in real-time, what is
happening in Sacramento and the accountability framework development and translate that PLX learning into practical strategies or learning opportunities for our PLN?
• How do I keep this amazing energy and wisdom flowing in my network?
62
63
» PLNs for 2017-18 and 2018-19 • High interest and high demand – competitive
process is likely necessary
• Draft of RFP would be released in March
• Final RFP would be released in April
• Current funding structure would limit number of PLNs to possibly as few as 35
Component III: Networks
64
» Self-Assessment • Very strong interest in EAPLNs
• Initial December training was very successful
• Almost all EAPLNs have launched successfully
• 6-month timeframe on EAPLNs limits impact
• May be challenging to meet future demand

» Purpose: Opportunity to respond to substantive inquiries on using Dashboard and LCAP as tools for continuous improvement
» First Iteration: Help Line • Available to answer questions by phone/email
appointment
» Second Iteration: Support Desk • Available to respond to non-urgent, non-
compliance inquiries
Component IV: Learning Lab
68
» Continue to receive internal and external questions regarding demand and value
» Recently heard from CDE that it is expanding its ability to respond to inquiries • Has reached out to CCEE, SBE, CCSESA to partner
in effort
» Strong desire to model continuous improvement
Component IV: Learning Lab
69
» Revised Component Proposal: Learning Lab • Real need is for one-time, in person professional
development support to LEAs
• Utilize multiple means for LEAs to connect with CCEE (e.g., CDE-led Help Line, emails to CCEE staff)
• Create opportunity to capture and share lessons learned from LEAs
• Recognition that CCEE staff is already responding to inquiries
Component IV: Learning Lab
70
» Proposed protocol • LEA is put in contact with CCEE (e.g., through CDE-
led Help Line, directly via email)
• CCEE conducts initial phone intake with LEA
• CCEE consults with partners (SBE, CDE, CCSESA, local COE, other statewide associations, non-profits) as necessary
• CCEE (with partners as necessary) visits LEA and collaboratively identifies near-term solutions
Component IV: Learning Lab
71
» Self-Assessment • Continue to struggle with low level of internal and
external excitement
• Challenge finding niche to provide support and partner with other agencies and entities
• Need to measure demand for services under revised component
