-
The Preferred Future Worksheet is a planning tool that can assist school members or teams who are dealing with a school problem or issue. The worksheet has been designed to assist in analyzing the current situation, identifying a preferred future, and then creating a plan of action. Introductory material urges heterogeneous group membership and offers tips for facilitating the "preferred future" process such as: keep the group size under 10 members, assign roles within the group for effective facilitation of the process, and allow sufficient time (such as 2 hours) to complete planning sessions. The six steps of the process are then each briefly described: (1) define concerns and envision a preferred future (10 minutes); (2) identify strengths and barriers (15 minutes); (3) brainstorm strategies (25 minutes); (4) select possible strategies (20 minutes); (5) prioritize strategies (10 minutes); and (6) develop a plan (30-40 minutes). A blank worksheet is provided and followed by a completed sample resulting from a meeting of a group of school staff members to decide how to adapt curriculum/instruction to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse student body.
