Unique Ways to Leverage Strategic Consulting Hours
Depending on how many total Strategic Hours you purchased, you might have a large amount or small amount of hours remaining to use as you continue rolling out Mastery Connect to your staff and administrators. It is important to know your overall strategy and goals with Mastery Connect and then work to align those with the use of your remaining hours. Below are some unique ways to leverage those hours that we have found to be successful with many clients.
- Change Strategy
- A great option when you have a large balance of hours after completing implementation
- We can help create strategic plans for rolling out Mastery Connect to your Administrators and Staff
- We can help build communication, training, and engagement plans
- We focus on your institution’s priorities and vision to customize these plans
- Provides personalized success measures including resources and tools to support change leaders
- Product Coaching
- Provides collaboration with your team and your strategic consultant to help you learn how to develop solutions to needs and then implement them
- Provides targeted coaching on tools within Mastery Connect
- Question and answers sessions with teacher, PLC groups, administrators, coaches, etc. to support learning and development
- Provides deep product knowledge; connects to teaching and learning strategies; and provides hands-on practice, tips and tricks, and practical examples
- Creating Guides and Playbooks
- Provides resources and documentation to support rollout and continued usage of Mastery Connect
- Your Strategic Consultant can develop guides, playbooks, one-pagers, and learning modules to support your overall strategy and needs
- Creating Curriculum Maps
- Your Strategic Consultant can create Curriculum Maps which utilize state and/or district standards
- Curriculum Maps can be created with units that are organized to match district/school scope and sequence
- Using Curriculum Maps will ensure teachers create trackers from matching standards which allows the sharing of resources and assessments
- Canvas + Mastery Connect Sandbox Integration
- Creating a “ghost account + sandbox environment” provides an environment that mirrors the functionality of a teacher’s account
- This is great for district and school administrators, instructional coaches, technology specialists, and other non-teachers of record who do not have sections or students assigned to them and could not see the Canvas + Mastery Connect integration
- This sandbox creation then allows these roles the ability to demonstrate and train on the integration of Canvas and Mastery Connect and fully see how that would work for teachers
FINAL THOUGHTS
Your strategic hours can be used in multiple different ways. Most important is to use the hours in the way that will benefit your goals and vision surrounding Mastery Connect. Speak directly with your Learning Consultant about specific ways your district/school can benefit the most from your strategic hours. Remember to use them early and throughout your rollout and don’t save them to the end of your contract!
