Which of the four phases do you believe will provide the greatest challenges in your school district? Why? What steps can be taken to improve the success of the activities in that particular phase?
In analyzing the different phases, I believe that HSHMC would be great at Phase 1 Establishing the Program. There would be motivation from all the teachers and staff. We have a lot of confidence in our technology team and it would be very easy to appoint Mr. Gonzalez as the team leader of EA. However, in Phase 3, I believe we would be faced with some challenges with the Documentation of the EA. Documenting and gathering new artifacts as well as developing future action plans. I believe in our technology team, but many of these steps require time and planning. Since our school is small, the focus of the EA leader could not devote all their time to this. So the challenge would be putting a time-frame to completing Phase 3. Since this is the final phase before creating a Management Plan, there has to be a lot of thought put into this. Since there are some assumptions that have to be made, like in step 14, it seems that anything could come up. During this phase, it might be essential to have a short PD with the staff to communicate openly with the EA leader and double check to make sure that all stakeholders are made aware of the documentation.
