The Talent Decision Planner, is a user-friendly, customizable roadmap that groups talent decisions into six categories, with guiding questions based on research and feedback from leaders in the field: What decisions need to be made in what areas? Who makes them? By when? And what questions and data should guide decision-makers in the process? The planner also lays out a calendar, suggesting when each decision should be made. With the tool, school leaders can add, delete, edit, reassign, or defer decisions or guiding questions to match their district’s context. They can create “decision guides” for teachers, principals and others, and they can prioritize the sorts of data their district has or needs to inform their guiding questions. The tool doesn’t keep or crunch data, but it can create a plan for teams to do so. And, with sample views, it shows them how data can be shared.
