Shared Vision & Change Management

Stakeholders are galvanized by a common vision for learner experiences and multidimensional outcomes, and are invested in the continuous change leadership needed to align systems and behaviors to that vision.

a. A long-term vision and mission exists for the learning community that showcases a relentless commitment to equitably preparing all learners for fulfilling lives and articulates learner graduate outcomes (e.g., academic outcomes, cognitive skills, mindsets, and habits) for doing so.

b. Key stakeholders have a shared understanding of and investment in the concrete ways in which all elements of the site’s model serve to realize the site’s vision and mission for the learning community and its learners.

c. A wide coalition of stakeholders (e.g., learners, families, faculty, district, local businesses, community organizations) understand and embrace the vision, can articulate the need for change, sustain the change, and feel urgency in proactively taking steps toward the vision.

d. Leaders at different levels of the organization champion and sustain the vision so that the vision persists through adversity and does not depend on any single individual.
