Think-Pair-Share
• Reflect Individually
• Discuss
• Share with a partner
What is a Shared Vision?
• Gather input from all stakeholders
• Series of meetings and processes to hear
everyone’s voice
• District, school, and classroom level
An example from Fairview Elementary
The ultimate goal of change
is when people see
themselves as shareholders
with a stake in the success
of the system as whole.
-Michael Fullan
Shared Vision Defined
• A statement created by gathering input
from all stakeholders to help our
schools be more focused in helping
children reach their goals. The goals are
written from the focus areas.
Why is it important to have a
Shared Vision?
A Process
Creating a Shared Vision that reflects all
stakeholders
• Ask the important questions
• Take the time to educate stakeholders
• Survey the interest, support and willingness
Important Sample Questions
1. According to current test scores how are our
students doing?
2. What happens to our students once they
leave our K-12 system?
3. What will students need to know in the 21st
century?
4. If needed, how do we change our current
system to meet the needs of all students?
Shared Vision: The Big Ideas

work.
• It allows us to set goals and monitor
progress.
• It creates common understandings
among stakeholders.
• It allows us to see the big picture and
focus on continuous improvement.

Creating a Shared Vision Example
KIDS RSU’s shared vision statement :
What skills do our kids need to cope with change
and continuously learn for the 21st century?
A Brainstorming Technique:
Go around your table and every person has the floor
to speak
Let’s Go Through the Process for
the School/Classroom Vision
Identify group roles:
•Facilitator
•Recorder
•Timekeeper
•Reporter
•Team Members
Affinity Diagram
to create focus areas
• At your table, brainstorm how a school
would contribute to the District Shared
Vision. Use KIDS RSU #2’s as an
example. No talking, only writing!
• Categorize sticky notes into 5-7
columns
• Make headers for each column
• Utilize volunteers to report out on the
affinity diagram.
Designing Questions
Generate questions that align the visions from your
district to school, & classrooms):
District SV statement: Create learners to cope with
change and accept learning as a continuous
process in the 21st century.
Possible questions:
What skills do learners need to cope with change in
the 21st century?
What skills do teachers need to support students’
learning regarding coping with change?
Turn to a partner and discuss 2-3 more questions
from other Shared Vision statements

What do you need to
know to develop a Code
of Conduct from the

Shared
Vision?
RISC Foundation
Code of Conduct for the School
• Use the shared vision as a guide
• Design questions that will elicit
behaviors that will bring shared vision to
life
• Affinity diagram to brainstorm, sort, and
prioritize needs
• PDCA on top 3-5 items
• Determine your Code of Conduct
• Layout processes and procedure
Creating a Code of Conduct
from Shared Vision
• Use the shared vision as a guide
• Design questions that will elicit behaviors that will
bring shared vision to life
• Affinity diagram to brainstorm, sort, and prioritize
needs
• PDCA on top 3-5 items
• Determine your Code of Conduct
• Layout processes and procedure
Questions for the School
Code of Conduct
• Shared Vision Statement: Building a
Community of Safety and Respect
• Possible questions:
– What does it mean to be safe in the
hallway?
– What does it mean to be safe in the
bathrooms?
– What does it mean to be safe on the
playground?
Designing Questions to Determine
Code of Conduct in the Classroom
• What does it look like to work in a whole
group?
• What does it look like to work with a
partner?
• What does it look like to work in a small
group?
• What does it look like to work
individually?
Categorize & Prioritize
•Affinity Diagram to
categorize
• Power-voting to prioritize
• Using colored dots, vote for
your priority areas (Guideline:
give a dot for 1/3 of the options)
• Each dot represents one vote.
You can use all dots on one
area, or spread them out
• The area with the most dots
becomes the first area of focus

Set Goals and Cycle Times
• The vision takes time. It isn’t something
that you can complete quickly.
• Set up times during the day to work on
your vision.
• The vision is a living document that is
kept alive through continuous
monitoring and adjusting of the goals.
Code of Conduct in the Classroom
• What does it look like when we leave
the room during our class period?
• What does it look like when we have
visitors in the room?
• What does it look like when we walk
around the room when others are
working?
