Sustainability Report

Sustainability Report

Using the Scale and Sustainability Score sheet found in Step Seven of the text, create a report that includes the following components:

1. Your readiness
2. Program/practices for scale and sustainability 
3. Non-negotiable elements of the program/practice 
4. Scale and sustainability scores 
5. The development of scale and sustainability strategies for the change strategy

Your report should include:

Introduction:  Include an introduction to the purpose and context of your report.

Part 1:  Assess your readiness to plan and implement scale and sustainability.  In this section of your paper, discuss your ability to identify core program elements and make choices to determine the most effective or high priority components to be scaled and sustained.

Part 2:  Describe the program or practice resulting from your change strategy that you would like to scale and sustain.  Explain what it is and why it is important.  Explain how you know it is a high quality program and valued by stakeholders.  What results do you anticipate?

Part 3:  Discuss the nonnegotiable elements of the program or practice being considered.

Part 4:  Score yourself on the scale score sheet (you do not need to include the actual score sheet) and report your results. Discuss several areas of
strength and need based on your results.

Part 5:  Score yourself on the sustainability score sheet (you do not need to include the actual score sheet) and report your results. Discuss several areas of strength and need based on your results.

Part 6:  Based on your areas of need as determined in Steps Four and Five, generate effective strategies for scaling and sustaining the program or practice of the change strategy.  Discuss what needs to be planned and implemented for successful scale and sustainability.  Please be sure to use research-based practices (as discussed in the text and readings) in your plan.

Conclusion:  Reflect on your growth and development as a change agent throughout the course.  How can your new skills and knowledge benefit a school or organization?  What areas of leadership would you like to learn about to continuously improve your abilities to be a change agent?  

The Final Project should be four- to six pages and should be written in APA format, including a Title and Reference page.  Please use at least two sources outside of the text to support your evidence and plans.  Please use APA format for all formatting, citations, and references,
