Design Team Structure and Stakeholder Input

Design Team Structure and Stakeholder Input (Part I)

Our division used the following weekly feedback loop below to facilitate updates to our Reopening Playbooks. Every Wednesday, our Division Transition Team met for 90-minute meetings where team members shared updates, worked within and across teams to share resources, and made holistic updates to their various sections of the 5.0 Playbook. Additionally, this group was an extension of our 4.0 and 5.0 teaming structures, and also included members of the broader ACPS community. On Mondays, our teacher-leaders met to provide feedback and input into division-level decisions, and on Thursdays, our Senior Leadership Team (SLT) met to synthesize updates and recommendations from the Monday and Wednesday meetings.
