  working on this project together. Each community

  member, and one parent (as determined by the
  color of your tag- teacherspink, studentsgreen,

• Now that you have your community of concerned and
  involved individuals, choose one of the program
  goals as a group and identify
• Activities/ outcomes (what would meeting this
  goal look like, what activities would it include,
  who would be involved, who would be affected)
• Benchmarks (What would be a necessary marker to
  know you are reaching your goal, suggested
  timeline)
• Evaluation data (what data should be gathered to
  evaluate the goal, when, how and by whom, to whom
  should it be reported).

• Questions for Community Leadership Teams-
  advisory board
• How will we communicate these outcomes/activities,
  benchmarks, and evaluations to the rest of the
  school?
• How will we hold the school accountable to these
  benchmarks?
• How can we help the school? Why should we exist?
• Who should be on this board? Anyone missing?
