**Another Idea:** Video record some of your students and some of my students saying lines related to the CIF. Then I can make a simple video and this can be our Establishing Engagement example.

**Could use PREZI for presentation after the video.**

**Establishing Engagement**
 * CIF movie of students saying gut-wrenching lines...
 * EE: "Engaged" "Focused" "Intrigued" "Fascinated"
 * FC: "Challenged" "Connected" "Hooked"
 * DU: "Questioned" "Traversed" "Inspected" "Investigated" "Unearthed" "Inquired"
 * MM: "Understood" "Internalized" "Evaluated" "Digested" "Grasped"

**Fostering Connections**

PFTers are asked to write their ideas on sticky notes and walk over to corresponding chart paper and post. After several PFTers have posted, provide a few minutes to gallery walk and read others' responses. Choose one/few of either ones below:

**✔ Each CIF component has a piece of chart paper. PFTers can write any thought that comes to their mind about each.**

**Deepening Understanding**
 * What role does the CIF play in your own vision of leadership?
 * As a principal, how will you use the CIF to improve instruction at your school?
 * As the instructional leader of a building, what could the CIF offer, accomplish, or achieve?
 * What makes a distinguished instructional leader?
 * What will instruction look like in the school which you are the principal?
 * ETC.

= ✔ The Fern Creek experience...CIF at an audited school. = **Making Meaning** = ✔ Participants write on a piece an idea they have as a principal using the CIF. Then PFTers come to a circle, wad up their idea, throw in the middle, retrieve one wadded paper, read and reflect, and then share out their thoughts. = **Overarching Elements (Classroom Culture & Challenge Level)** **General Brainstorming Thoughts**
 * ** 1. Share very quick overview of the component; 2. Have Triads discuss 2 related questions (1st examples, 2nd any type related to component and/or "as principal"); 3. "What struck you" after each question with whole group...repeat. (All this on PPT or PREZI) **
 * ** Quick overview of the CIF. Then PFTers discuss how they would use the CIF as one of their main tools as a principal/leader and ultimately begin planning how to incorporate the CIF into their own Leadership Vision. **
 * Exit slip?
 * Revisit essential question?
 * Triads discuss their own CIF vision and a few share outs
 * ** We will incorporate these in our presentation and then reveal within the presentation when we used some of the strategies. **
 * Have an agenda that includes our norms & time for each part of the presentation
 * Use this wiki as a reference and for resources
 * Have participants work in triads to brainstorm strategies for each CIF component
 * **OR we could teach a simple lesson (like in PE or Art) that includes all components and act it out, over-acting it, and stop after each point and have the PFTers discuss and add post-it notes to parking lots to collect specific examples of what they do for each part of CIF...**
