=AIG Strategic Plan Updates=

Logging into AIG Plan Site (APEX): https://schools.nc.gov/aigplan

We look forward to working together on our plan updates.

This should be a tweaking process to our existing AIG plan. One step will be that we look at what progress our counties made during the first three years on the standards. In 2010 we each designated some standards as Maintained, some Focused, and Some Future. As we move forward, we will be looking at what we need to focus on and what will move to maintained status.

There may be some other changes based on other changes within your district. As a state, we will be working to create some best practices and things to remember under standards.

We will be making all changes through the same system we used before (all online).

Keeping the end in mind, the proposed due date is that our plans is July 15, 2013 will be submitted through the online Apex system.

=Discussion Area=

One way we might be able to capture questions and share best practices is with this Discussion Area. Please feel free to ask or share at any time. You can start your own thread or add to the ones here.

=Rationale= There have been questions on rationale. The Rationale for every practice will change. You are providing a rationale for the status of each practice. The Rationale should answer, "Why are we focusing on this practice?" or "Why are we maintaining this practice?"

=Maintained Practice Status= One way to think of labeling a standard as maintained is that we are saying that a district has met the standard and can document that success. This may mean that you are doing the best to meet a standard within certain constraints. For example, if a district happens to add local funds, they may be able to meet a standard and reach maintained status at a different level than a district that does not have local funds. In other words, maintained means that we have reached the best we can within our district.

=Focused Practice Status= This should be an area that will be addressed through specific strategies which are outlined in the plan. These strategies should be able to be accomplished within this next three year cycle.
