Background:

CSG understands the promise that a strong strategic plan brings to a district, and possesses experience helping districts and state agencies develop new plans, as well as measure and implement their existing plans. Districts that establish ambitious and feasible strategic plans and then execute on those plans are able to drive student performance based upon a shared set of values, goals and 'action plans.

A community-driven strategic plan requires engagement and communication to best understand and meet the needs of different stakeholder groups. This includes structured activities in a variety of formats, including interviews, focus groups, meetings, and survey administration as well as opportunities for ongoing feedback and two-way communication, all of which require strong systems for data collection and analysis, both qualitative and quantitative. Additionally, in order to support a focused and community approach to strategic planning, it is best practice to form an advisory structure with representatives from the various stakeholder groups. Such a structure enables those representatives to support the translation of community feedback into actions as well as support and understand the necessary prioritization that goes into any strategic plan.

Scope of Work: Supporting Teaneck PublicSchools' Strategic Planning Process

•	Project Planning

CSG will develop a shared comprehensive project planfor Teaneck Public Schools' strategic planning process including stakeholder engagement. With input from Superintendent Spencer and his team, CSG will construct a plan that outlines the key timelines, scope and sequence of activities, key owners and arc of engagement feeding into the ultimate development of the new strategic plan.

43

4238 Cadiz St.; New Orleans, LA 70125	1

Civic Solutions Group

In order to control costs associated with this engagement, it is anticipated there will be shared workflows between district staff identified by Superintendent Spencer and CSG. The project plan will act as a shared tool to clearly delineate roles and responsibilities and the division of labor throughout the project. For example, it will include key points in time where communications support from the district will be necessary.

•	Design,Co-Facilitate&Support Advisory Structure forStrategic PlanningProcess

In order to drive an efficient, yet effective, community-driven strategic planning process, CSG will partner with Superintendent Spencer and district staff to design and implement an advisory structure to steer the process, develop a scope and sequence of meetings and topics aligned with the overarching project plan, and co-facilitate meetings as necessary. This will include partnering with Superintendent Spencer and his staff to:

•	Identify the right stakeholder groups that should be represented in the advisory structure
•	Design an equitable and transparent process for determining membership inthe advisory structure
•	Clarify and define the role of the advisory structure

•	Support the convening of the group through the co-construction of agendas, materials, and other items relevant to the process
•	Attend and co-facilitate, as needed, the convenings of the advisory structure

•	Engagement Preparation &Support

CSG will work in partnership with Superintendent Spencer and his leadership team to design arobust engagement process to support the development of a new strategic plan. Generally, CSG would recommend a phased approach as follows:

•	Phase 1: Provide engagement opportunities to awide array of stakeholder groups through information sessions or town halls in order to provide background information, garner community buy-in and outline anticipated next steps as well as the ways in which stakeholders can participate. Simultaneously,CSG would recommend smaller scale focus groups of principals, teachers, parent leaders, school board members and students. This phase of engagement would focus on celebrating the successes of the district, distilling the challenges and hopes that stakeholders may have, and highlighting the importance of a good strategic plan and a strong school district for the citizens of Teaneck.

44

4238CadizSt.;NewOrleans, LA70125	2

Civic Solutions Group

•	Phase 2: Provide another round of engagement opportunities to reflect back a synthesis of feedback received during Phase 1 of the engagement and engage with key stakeholders around feasibility, what resources would be necessary to be successful,and the trade-offs that will need to be decided between and how these aspects align to emerging goals for the district.
•	Phase 3: Provide opportunity for feedback on a draft set of goals and initiatives for inclusion in the District's strategic plan.
•	Phase 4: Provide a clear dissemination process for the strategic plan so that it can be fully adopted and utilized as a community tool to drive the work and actions of the district.

Throughout each phase of the engagement, CSG would also recommend the use of asynchronous tools (i.e. a survey or feedback form) and providing materials
publicly so that individuals who may not be able to participate due to time constraints have
the opportunity for their voice to be heard.

To support the engagement work, CSG will do the following:

•	Design materials to be utilized for each phase of the engagement process through an iterative process incorporating feedback from Superintendent Spencer and his leadership team. This would include an initial presentation framing the process, highlighting successes and completing research to help leverage community support towards Teaneck Public Schools and the strategic planning process.
•	Synthesize feedback in partnership with district staff for each phase of the engagement process in order to identify the key takeaways and learnings from the various stakeholders
•	Design a survey or feedback form and support the creation of a landing page on the Teaneck Public Schools website where all of the engagement materials can be housed and available to various stakeholders

•	Engagement Facilitation

Engagement ismost effective when facilitated by or in partnership with leaders that know
the constituents best, as it provides for greater context and clarity as that engagement unfolds. CSG is excited the district wants to lead this phase of the work and is well prepared to support district leadership throughout the process. CSG also understands there may be times where it is beneficial for a third-party to co-facilitate community engagement and are willing to partner with Teaneck leadership in facilitating such engagement where necessary.

•	Train the Trainer Model

Recognizing the power that can come from district leadership facilitating the engagement sessions, CSG wouldpropose supporting theprocess through the creation of a facilitator guide and a workshop with those district staff identified to lead the engagement sessions to support them in understanding the protocol and feeling confident in facilitating the necessary engagement sessions. Additionally, CSG will create an online tool so that those district staff identified for leading engagement sessions can provide thefeedback and notes
from those sessions in order to synthesize feedback across all of the engagement opportunities to distill them into key ideas, questions and challenges.

•	Advisory Supports

Throughout the entire process, CSG will provide advisory support to Superintendent Spencer and district staff involved in the process through regular check-ins. This may include:

•	Supporting the development of actionable, measurable goals

•	Sharing best practices, resources and examples of ways inwhich other organizations have developed their strategic plans
•	Thought partnership on the development of strategies and actions and determining the feasibility of such based upon resources and time available
•	Supporting the development of a roadmap for future engagement with strategic plan progress updates
•	Advising on potential organizational shifts needed to be successful in the implementation of the strategic plan
