18. Considerations & Dangers Timeline for Implementation Timeline for Results Firm Foundation So this is the WHY we just went through the review (quickly). Without those necessary pieces in place, you can�t expect REAL results, you can�t expect amazing results. 5 years is what we�re talking about here. Does that mean no results until then? No, but think about implementing a new anti-bullying curriculum. What happens the first year? Bullying reports go through the roof! Why? More bullying � no. Similar with implementing a CSCP. It takes time. Today we are going to be focusing on some out of the gate, start running, nuts and bolts ideas to get things going. These tools are great for focusing, for being intentional, for showing some preliminary results, BUT they can not stand on their own. You need to have the foundational components of the model in place. You need that foundation. This is what drives everything. The mission statement and really the SIP is what needs to drive, what needs to determine where you are going. Now if we�re putting on our CSCP hats and channeling our inner Norm Gyspers, we know that really (as the ASCA graphic suggests) this isn�t so linear. It isn�t a one way street going up from the SIP. We know that along all of these parts are going to interact with each other and alter, edit, amend how we implement these different aspects.So this is the WHY we just went through the review (quickly).
