Rank Your Hand – Do Your Choices Lead to Transformation?

LCFF includes many ambitious goals, including a significant reinvestment in education after years of budget cuts. Districts have a clear choice – do more of the same, or seize the moment so California leads the nation in creating systems that ensure all students reach new, higher standards. The better hands reflect transformational investments that help fundamentally transform how your district uses its resources. Rank your hand by seeing how many times you can answer yes to the questions below. Does your hand…

• restructure compensation to link to individual and team contribution?
• rethink standardized class size models to target individual attention?
• use existing time to meet student and teacher needs and extend in critical areas?
• redirect Special Education spending to early intervention and targeted individual attention in general education settings?
• maximize use of buildings and land?
• invest to support and develop leadership?
• leverage technology and community partners?
• increase efficiency of operations, programs and administration?

Try again: Think about your priorities, think about what you picked, and build a new hand. Create a free ERS account to save and manage your hands.
