Project Planning Worksheet
Values/principles surrounding the project
· Differentiated instruction is needed to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities
· Diversity is a positive thing
· Personnel training is a worthy investment
· Families and other stakeholders (e.g., physicians, community) should be involved in the planning and support process
· Collaboration is key to successful outcomes
· School personnel must “buy in” to this model to be successful
· A wraparound approach would be most successful for this to occur
· Strong leadership is necessary for this model to be successful
· Use of PBS part of overall success
· Data-based decision making
· Each student’s potential must be maximized
Priorities of the project
· Provide comprehensive, whole-child support for families and children
· Create a model of interdisciplinary intervention using the wraparound approach
o Academic
o Health
o Behavior
o Attendance
§ Responsibility is shared for the education and well-being of all students
· Increased quality of services
· Maximize the potential for each student
· Create/extend a model for data-based decision making
· Use leadership teams to provide a model of differentiated instruction
Why are we concerned about this problem?
· Red Clay is eager for a model of support for children with disabilities
· Models exist, but Red Clay lacks the resources to fully implement the models
· Gains have been made, but needs-based supports have been reduced over the years
