Strategic+Planning+-+Proposals

4/8 Sally's two suggestions for re submition. We can resubmit both if we like we are not limited to one. ** Group No.: ** 14 **Objective to be addressed: **To be able to demonstrate an awareness of the principles and methods of strategic planning for change and identify the role of the teacher librarian within these processes. ** Intended Audience: ** Principals and Executive Staff K-12 ** Topic Title: ** Strategy into Action – Creating a Digital and Information Literate Whole School Approach  21C Litericies: A Whole School Approach Creating a whole school approach to digital and information literacies

** Expected Outcomes: (If we focus on strategic planning for introducing a soft/hardware) ** 1) The critical elements of strategic planning are examined in relation to professional development for classroom teachers in the use of (pick one – smart board, wikis, blogs etc) across the curriculum.   2) Actively promote the planning, implementation, ongoing development and review of the professional development and effectiveness of (said tool) 3) Identification of the unique knowledge and skill set of the Teacher Librarian in facilitating the introduction and training of classroom teachers and introducing (said tool) across the curriculum  ** Expected Outcomes: (if we focus on strategic planning for digital and information literacy) **   1) The critical elements of strategic planning are examined in relation to developing information and digitally literate students across the curriculum. 22) Demonstrate how to actively plan, implement, lead ongoing professional development and review a digital and information literacy scope and sequence plan in a whole school context.   3 The identification of the unique knowledge and skill set of the Teacher Librarian in student acquisition of digital and information literacies across the curriculum and school stages.   Roys previous comments   As the National Curriculum has not been released and that the states and territories have not yet agreed to implement, how can your presentation assist? In NSW the national curriculum will not be implemented until 2013 at the earliest, if not later. I think this proposal is too ambitious at this stage and not something that principals would be focusing upon at present.  I would suggest the group concentrate their efforts on something simpler, more manageable and where results can be seen in the short term. Begin small, make it simple, do it well and then, hopefully, recognition will come. Others groups are looking at the implementation of blogs, wikis as collaborative and writing tools, developing an info literacy plan, ICT PD plan for Smartboards, etc. These are activities which can make an immediate, i.e. in the short term, difference and the results can be seen. Please resubmit your proposal for approval

**__ ETL504 TL as Leader __** **__ Assignment 1A – Topic Proposal Submission Form __** Demonstrates knowledge and understanding of strategic planning in schools and its importance to the success of the key dimension of General Capabilities in the immanent Australian Curriculum. Clearly articulates the cross-curricular nature of the General capabilities and their importance within the teaching and learning programs of the whole school and the long term strategic planning required for successful implementation and ongoing development. Promotes the diverse set of skills possessed by TL’s and clearly relates this skill set to strategically plan for the effective implementation of the Australian Curriculum (General capabilities focus).

From Brooke I have spent time re-combing some of the readings - Gibbs, Balnaves, Welch and Davies and Davies.I was looking for some perspectives that we might attck the article at. Some ideas are:* Strategic Planning: The first step in the journey of success. (Gibb)* Strategic Planning: Awakening, Envisioning, Restructurung (Davies and Davies)* Strategic Planning: Opening communication channels for change (Davies and Davies)* Strategic Planning: Teacher Librarians as the Architects for ChangeWelch has lots of great diagrams - if we were to use one - which one would support our argument?Cheers -Brooke =) From Sally   **__ ETL504 TL as Leader __**    **__ Assignment 1A – Topic Proposal Submission Form __**   Group No.: 14  Objective to be addressed: To be able to demonstrate an awareness of the principles and methods of strategic planning for change and identify the role of the teacher librarian within these processes.  Intended Audience: Principals, Assistant Principals and Head Teachers  Topic Title: ICT: Who Can Help Me? (Sorry its late)  Expected Outcomes:  1) Outline critical elements of strategic planning as to their importance in school planning for introducing new ICT elements for the curriculum (such as the use of wiki spaces or XYZ software) 2) Develop a plan of teacher professional development for use of XYZ software and how it is used and incorporated into the curriculum. OR as ROY suggested strategic planning in the development of a ICT plan for the school. (Lucy wrote about having to implement new things without support and lacking the confidence to use them) and discuss WHY which ever one we choose is important. 3) Roy has written “ The aim is to raise the awareness of the school leaders that when planning, the TL should be considered as part of the team due to the nature of their specialised knowledge and skills” I think we could talk about the knowledge that the TL has with ICT and curriculum and how the TL can, as Brooke wrote on our neat chat “ incorporate the library as the centre of school information hub and making the TL the unassuming leader from the middle”. This is not the language I would use when submitting a proposal however I thought simple words that we used in chatting could be a spring board. See below for some other info
