At our first PD of the 2013-2014 school year, our staff completed a Chalk Talk about what we wanted our students to be like as adults.  The list contained many of the dispositions that Ron Ritchhart says are the "residuals of education".   This list would help us create our Vision for the school improvement process. 
Using the dispositions generated from staff, our SIP Steering Team narrowed them down to the most popular. Today we took the narrowed list to the rest of the staff. Staff voted for their top 3 dispositions and these were tallied.

The top 5 dispositions were worked into a draft of the Vision Statement for our school.  The staff was presented with this draft and asked to use a consensogram - green sticker indicating that they were all for this Vision, yellow indicating that they had some concerns with this Vision, and red indicating that they were against this Vision.  Anyone voting with a yellow or red sticker were asked to write their concerns on a sticky note. These concerns will be addressed at the next SIP Steering Team meeting and a revision to the Vision will be created.  This revision will be shared with staff at a future meeting.
