- What information about your program could help other LEAs understand your plans?
- What changes have you seen or expect to see while participating in the DTL program?
- What resources would help you move forward with your implementation plans?
- What do you want to know more about from other LEAs in this grant program?
- Where are you starting in your journey? Where do you hope to land?
- What is something unique about your LEA that other LEAs may be interested to know?
Cohorts Three and Four:
- Introduce yourself!
- Where are you along your DTL implementation/achievement journey?
- On a scale of 0-10, is your implementation going according to plan?
- What do you hope to accomplish this school year (2019-2020)?
- On what grade band and subject areas are you focusing? Are you seeing progress?
- What do you know NOW that you wish you would have known EARLIER in the grant cycle?
