Briefs
Written By School Readiness Consulting

This P-3 Needs Assessment and Action Planning Toolkit was developed to support partners at the Colorado Department of Education in strengthening their P-3 systems and provide support for school and district leadership.

This toolkit includes: 

  • A self-assessment to measure progress from getting started to business as usual

  • A Learning Tour guide that details strategies and action steps for developing a P–3 implementation landscape analysis or environmental scan 

  • An Action Planning Guide that provides resources from the field and a step-by-step guide for designing a district- or school-wide P–3 action plan

These resources provide leaders with a comprehensive set of resources and guides designed to support efforts at any level to create, expand, or enhance P–3 systems.
