Commit to the Activator Cycle - Commitment Registration released at the Kick Off
Completing an Activator Cycle Plan helps you consider and prepare for data collection that ensures you have a productive M3 Huddle. More info at the Activator Kick Off.
Complete an internal/self PQA Assessment and schedule an External Observation
Completing an internal assessment not only provides great information for your staff team to reflect on at M3, it also is a great strategy to help staff build a deeper understanding of quality practices. Sprockets will provide examples of creative ways you can bring this to life in your org.
External observations are also key in providing additional feedback to reflect on alongside your internal scores. Sprockets will be providing External Assessments for all programs.
