.:Mission Statement
The mission statement ensures that the
entire team understands WHO is
involved, WHAT is to be accomplished
and HOW it will be achieved.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

    The "Davis Elementary" School Improvement
    Team will develop a School-Wide PDSA Writing
    Framework by actively working and learning together
    as a team.

 

 

 

 


 
WHEN IS IT USED?
  • Developed during the first or second meeting
     of a new team.
  • Reviewed periodically during additional meetings.
  • Supported and confirmed through established Ground
    Rules.


 
HOW IS IT MADE?
  1. Brainstorm thoughts and ideas around your team's
     issue(s) or goal(s). Capture the Big Ideas on a piece
     of paper.
  2. Each member individually and silently drafts a
    statement that includes WHO, WHAT and HOW.
  3. When all statements have been written, begin sharing
    statements by passing them to the left. The reader will
    underline words and phrases they believe should be in
    the final version of the statement. Pass the statement
    to the left 3 times. If someone has already underlined
    a phrase you like, underline it again. This is a voting
    process. After, passing papers 3 times, pass the
    statements back to the writer. Review your own paper
    and underline any key words on your page, too.
  4. Identify and discuss the most popular words and phrases.
    It also can be valuable to discuss minority opinoins
    (single lines). Reach consensus on the key ideas that
    should be in the final version.
  5. As a team, choose the final WHO, WHAT and HOW
    for the Mission Statement.
