Getting Started
A Collaborative Action Team must take time to do some "groundwork" to get the team started on the right foot.
Assessing the school community environment to ensure that conditions are right to start
a team is one preliminary step. Another is to make certain all the right elements are present to support a healthy
collaboration.
This stage involves learning about the Collaborative Action Team process, getting your team organized, and building a working team. Sometimes, the people on your team will be meeting for the first time. Other times, you may already be working together and want to learn the process before taking action. Steps in this stage include the following:
- Introduce the Process
- Gather School Community Information
- Plan the First Steps
This stage provides the foundation for success. Complete this stage before you move on to any other.
