Suggestions for future use:

  1. Once you complete the Creating the Future You Desire Chart, use the Documenting Progress as a fill-in-as you go chart to be used in meetings with your core team.
  2. Try to use this at least once a month to document progress toward achieving your vision.
  3. Post it in a visible place as a reminder to teachers and staff of the vision and the successful effort of the team in implementing the vision.
