WORK SMARTER… NOT HARDER KATIE SCHMITT, S-RIP ADAPTED FROM: ROB HORNER AND MICHELE WACKMAN

Commonly with new initiatives, we: • Form a team to develop an implementation plan

Challenges Few resources, staff, & time Duplication of effort with other initiatives & programs Lack of clarity regarding purpose and outcomes Lack of priority

WORKING SMARTER • Identify committees within your school • Identify purposes, outcomes, target groups, and staff • Address, evaluate, and restructure committees and initiatives to address school improvement plan • Integrate SW-PBIS into existing committees and initiatives

Our next activity is designed to identify committees in your school. Outline committees and identify the purpose of those committees Is there overlap or duplication of effort? Who do they address? Are many of the same people serving on different committees? Can some of these committees be collapsed or merged? Working smarter not harder; how can we make this happen? Are there committees that deserve added support?
