Leadership+Plan

**//~ Leadership Plan ~//**
As a part of the Institute, we featured a session on Thursday that addressed teacher leadership. To extend this session and the institute in general, your school-based team will create a leadership plan for implementing new literaices and project-based inquiry in your school. As part of your plan, consider the following questions. How will your team structure the Leadership Plan? Who will be responsible for facilitating the implementation of the Leadership Plan, and what will be their roles and responsibilities? What is the focus of the implementation experience, and how do you anticipate it going? What do you think will work well? What do you think might not work as well? How do you anticipate having to change the implementation experience and/or your Leadership Plan? Your plan should include some details for how you will share what you have learned at the Institute (e.g. a presentation for the teachers in your school, some materials to share with PLCs in your school, a professional conference presentation, etc.). The goal here is to think about how you and your colleagues can be New Literacies and Project-based Inquiry educational leaders in your school. You will produce this plan as a team and then facilitate its implementation at your school in the fall.

**//~ Leadership Plan Implementation Report ~//**
After your Leadership Plan has been facilitated and implementad at your particular school, your school-based team will then compose a report to report and share the results of your implementation experience. As part of your report, consider the following questions:
 * How did your team structure the implementation of the New Literacies and Problem-Based Inquiry in your school?
 * Who is responsible for facilitating the implementation of the plan?
 * What is the focus of the implementation experience, and how did it go?
 * What is working well?
 * What is not (or might not) work as well?
 * How might you change your plan?
 * What do you see as the next steps in moving forward with New Literacies and Problem-Based Inquiry leadership at your school?

The **Leadership Plan** is due September 15, 2012 or sooner. Your team will post the plan as a reply to a forum we have set up on our New Literacies Collaborative ning. Post your plan [|here].
