Idea Readiness Tool
The purpose of the Idea Readiness Tool is to help guide the spread of new ideas within a school community. The Idea Readiness Tool begins with a very brief checklist that can be used to identify readiness for a new idea. Included with the checklist are a series of strategies specifically tailored for working with school communities at different stages of readiness. There is also a resource list for those interested in reading more information to support their use of these strategies.
