Strategic Planning Documents
Aligning staff activity with 3 year
work plan (Questions immediately followed
by given answer or defining discussion.) See handouts
page for July 6 meeting for workplan.
1. Goals and Objectives to lead activity for the
next three years. (See Work plan for objectives
and goals currently listed)
2. Board read through: everyone read and ask generated
questions pertaining to plan.
3. Plan will then be taken to membership meeting
and asked if they are willing to support this work.
Questions:
1. Would it be better to have “will receive”
DE courses instead of “taking.”
2. Would we limit the 75 % of schools to using
VS or could it be college DE?
3. Would it be possible to have one school provide
courses for another school to fulfill OSEC goal?
4. What model do we want to pursue? Would be
better to split goal one into an A and B section
separating High school and College goals.
5. Certification of tech coordinators: Will this
be more defined or should we keep it vague? Keep
it vague: Do not want to commit schools to certifications
that do not work.
6. On goal 2: Should there be language regarding
school improvement? Data Analysis and data management
and research-based analysis should cover it, but
language could be definitely inserted.
7. Is there anything speaking to separate accreditation?
Not listed yet? Could it be noted that OSEC could
help in the process of achieving accreditation
as opposed to definitively listing a specific
type of accreditation? This will allow us to show
and train regarding what needs to be done as well
as PD for accreditation.
8. How will AYP be included in the work plan?
Specific mention should be placed within the scope
of school improvement. Maybe in the tasks….?
(Who or what agency gives final approval to AYP
plans? Secretary of the Interior is final approval
body for all BIA funded schools. If Sec of Interior
wishes to consult or defer to Sec of Ed, then
that department can be brought into the scheme
of things. No Ed oversight.) CSI will do grunt
work, then OIEP will be given recommendations,
which will then be passed on to interior…)
9. Goal 3 objective 2: 75% of consortium schools
will take advantage of consortium developed course
work: What is this or what does it mean? Should
be related to college level items
10. Goal 2: Special services—what is process
for hiring task? We need to develop a process
for schools to know what we can provide in the
form of services and how to get this process started
when needed. Is 100% of the schools a little too
aggressive? Can this be lowered?
11. In looking at current activity level, is
there somewhere where we can say, “ this
is what we are doing?” and matching this
with current position. February benchmarking

Possible Work to Insert into Work Plan
Project Achieve: A good portion of the
money must be used for assistive technology. Schools
may need to have some assistance in developing plans
for this. Big meeting in Albuquerque for this
stuff.
Next week> Plan this for September.
75,000-300,000 for schools to spend
Areas to spend money
1. Assistive tech
2. Literacy mat
3. Math materials
4. Behavioral
5. Low incidence Disability
Could send letters to schools with services we
could provide. (See new contracts)
Accreditation:
Do the schools know what NCATE accreditation is
and the process involved?
1. Need calendar
2. Need schedule
3. Need teacher list
4. Need course list
5. Other…
Need to develop a data mining process to get needs
of schools.
Survey and forms
Work on a marketable form of history of OSEC.
