District Launch and Support Resources

Use these tools to prepare, launch, support, and review building implementation.

This page is a resource library for district leaders. The tools are grouped by purpose so leaders can find the right support for launch planning, communication, building implementation, and quarterly response.

Keep the district process focused on launch, support, and response.

Start with the district implementation plan, then use the launch supports to introduce the work to principals, staff, families, and community partners. Buildings use the Building Implementation Guides for planning and the Quarterly Update to generate a Summary Report. District leaders review those Summary Reports through their own local process, return responses to buildings, and track needed support.

District focus: introduce the model clearly, help buildings adapt it, and respond to submitted Summary Reports in a way that supports next steps.

District Launch Planning

Use this tool to establish the starting point, participating buildings, grade bands, support contacts, launch commitments, and review cycle.

District Implementation Plan for Buildings
The district-facing plan for launching and supporting the framework

Communication and Orientation Tools

Use these tools to introduce the work consistently to principals, staff, families, and community partners before implementation begins.

2
Building Launch Meeting Agenda
A meeting structure for introducing the work to building leaders

Gives principals and district leaders a practical agenda for reviewing the purpose, clarifying grade-band expectations, identifying first actions, and connecting the work to quarterly updates.

3
Staff One-Page Overview
A concise handout for explaining the work to staff

Helps staff understand that the framework strengthens existing instruction and support routines rather than adding a separate initiative.

4
Family and Community Communication Template
A message districts and buildings can adapt for families

Explains the purpose of life beyond high school preparation in clear family-facing language, including why the work matters in the early grades.
