After challenges are identified, have the planning team individually prioritize challenges by how severe, how crucial and how responsive they are, and whether they are within the power of the district to change. Your team can tally individual ratings for each challenge for all planning team members first and then compile all ratings to come up with an overall rating. The highest numbers indicate the highest need.
If possible, recreate an electronic spreadsheet of this page and work through the process using an LCD projector and a laptop computer.
