Inevitable

The role of the superintendent in making the vision of Inevitable come to life is multifaceted.  The superintendent needs to educate themselves about the technology needed in order to implement vision, the infrastructure needed within the school, and the costs associated with implementation.  The superintendent also needs to communicate that vision to the school board, teachers and other administrators.  Hiring practices need to be modified in order to ensure that new employees are aware of able to implement the vision.  Appropriate training must be planned for staff and students.  This plan must also be rolled out for the community to understand and be a part of.

Making such a dramatic change cannot happen overnight.  It must be rolled out in stages.  There are many options but my long-term implementation plan would look something like the following:

1.  Pilot the learning experience the students and teachers will be a part of in one class. 1 semester
2.  Extend the pilot program to teachers that volunteer to be a part of it. 1 semester
3.  Implement the plan for one entire grade level (freshman) 1 year
4.  Extend the plan to upcoming grades each year - full implementation by year 4

Throughout and leading up to these steps, staff will will be involved in education/training and site visits to schools.  Staff and Administration will need to be in a constant state of reflection/review, improving the reality of the vision as needed.
