Shared vision Intermediate age plan

Step 1: (Whole Group) Meet and define what the word vision means and what a vision
is.
Link: If you have a strong vision, people will see us doing this in the learning
environment.
Where we want to go and be.
Step 2: Present the guiding question. Discuss and clarify the challenging vocabulary in
the question.
Guiding Question: What does a successful learner look like?
Step 3: Review/ Explain the skills of the jobs for the learners (scribe, runner, inspirer,
task master) learners can pick or be assigned.
Step 4: Break the learners up into small groups (3-4), and pass out the post its.
Step 5: (This may be step 3 at the start of the year) Do Affinity Diagram lesson (See
tools presentation). What is it, how it works, how we do it, and why we do it? Learner
facilitator led through the entire lesson. Small groups are all close and the LF is actively
listening.
Step 6: After brainstorming is ended hand out chart paper and have them organize
sticky notes into topics (May need guidance here).
Step 7: Take a break from this activity for LF reflection

What is an Affinity Diagram?


An Affinity Diagram is a tool that gathers large amounts of language data (ideas,
opinions, issues) and organizes them into groupings based on their natural
relationships The Affinity process is often used to group ideas generated by
Brainstorming.
Why should teams use the Affinity process?
The Affinity process is a good way to get people to work on a creative level to
address difficult issues. It may be used in situations that are unknown or
unexplored by a team, or in circumstances that seem confusing or disorganized,
such as when people with diverse experiences form a new team, or when
members have incomplete knowledge of the area of analysis.
Step 1 - Generate ideas. Use the Brainstorming tool to generate a list of ideas.
The rest of the steps in the Affinity process will be easier if these ideas are
written on post-its.
Step 2 - Display the ideas. Post the ideas on a chart paper, a wall, or a table in
a random manner.

Step 3 - Sort the ideas into related groups. The team members physically sort
the cards into groupings, without talking, using the following process:
Start by looking for two ideas that seem related in some way. Place them
together in a column off to one side.
Look for ideas that are related to those you've already set aside and add them to
that group.
Look for other ideas that are related to each other and establish new groups.
This process is repeated until the team has placed all of the ideas in groups.
NOTE: Ideally, all of the ideas can be sorted into related groups. If there are
some "loners" that dont fit any of the groups, dont force them into groupings
where they dont really belong. Let them stand alone under their own headers.
Step 4 - Create header cards or header titles for the groups. A header is an
idea that captures the essential link among the ideas contained in a group of
cards
Step 5 - Draw the finished Affinity Diagram.
Write a problem statement at the top of the diagram.
Place header and superheader cards above the groups of ideas.
Review and clarify the ideas and groupings.
Restated in simpler terms.
1. Generate ideas.
2. Display the ideas. Place the post-its on a chart paper, easel, or wall, in a
random manner.
3. Sort the ideas into related groups Group the ideas by moving the cards
independently. Participants should go with their gut reactions. If they
disagree on the placement of a card, they are free to move it.
4. Create headers. Make sure that each header placed at the top of a group
captures the essential link among all of the ideas beneath it and consists
of enough words to clearly convey the meaning.
5. Draw the finished Affinity Diagram. Make sure you write the problem
statement on top of the diagram, place a header card above each group of
ideas, allow the team to review and discuss points for clarification, and
document the finished product.
Day Two: Creating Our Shared Vision (Inside the Classroom)

***A day later is great for processing. No need to rush here. Time spent here will gain
time later.

Step 1: Based on teacher reflection, create categories that will encompass the students
driving forces (no more than 3-4 categories). Do not show them. They may come up
with them later.
Step 2: Discuss and place sticky notes into categories with students assistance
Step 4: Connect the categories to create a shared vision for the classroom

Reinventing Our Shared Vision (Inside the Classroom)


Step 1: (Check) Interview students to determine the level of achievement focused
around the components of the shared vision.
Guiding Questions:
What is our classroom vision?
How do we know that we are reaching our vision?
What do you notice others doing to follow through
with our vision?
Do you feel that we need to add anything to our
vision?
Step 2: Discuss with the whole class a synopsis of what was discovered.
Step 3: Make adjustments according to what the class chose as needing to change or
improve upon, by creating a PDCA (Plan Do Check Adjust).

Example:
Plan

Do

Check

Create a capacity

Complete the
capacity matrix on
a daily (or weekly)
basis.

(Completed after
analyzing capacity
matrix)
