    13. The 7Cs Rationale-Why the Time is Right A three-dimensional model for a three-dimensional world. Shift in priorities. Need for more clear, descriptive and contemporary terminology. All delivery systems are ‘responsive.’ Need for expansion of delivery systems and domains, and more inclusive list of partners in delivery. Assumptions regarding ‘programs’ vs ‘services.’

    14. The National Model Useful Elements Management System Agreements Advisory Council Data Collection/Interpretation (includes documented use of time) Action Planning Counselor calendars

    15. The National Model Useful Elements Steps to Implementation Planning for Program Development Building Foundational Elements Designing the Program Implementing the Program Making the Program Accountable

    16. The 7Cs Prior to Implementation Become familiar/comfortable with Model; understand implications for implementation. Advocate/promote as viable. Remember pre-conditions for change: 1. Sufficient dissatisfaction 2. Vision of a preferred future 3. Pathway to realizing vision Mobilize support systems at administrative, advisory, and work group levels.

    17. The 7Cs Pathways to Implementation – Realizing the Vision A Shortcut Conduct a SWOT analysis. Process Time-and-Task Analyses. Compare percentages of time spent in each delivery system with normative data. Revisit SWOT with under/over-subscriptions. Itemize/prioritize Weaknesses and Threats. Develop Action Plan from revised SWOT.

    20. The 7Cs SUMMARY OF SWOT ANALYSES Delivery System Weaknesses/Threats [ ] Counseling _________________ _________________ _________________ [ ] Consultation _________________ _________________ _________________ [ ] Classroom Activities _________________ _________________ _________________ [ ] Coordination of Program _________________ _________________ _________________ [ ] Case Management/Advocacy _________________ _________________ _________________ [ ] Communications _________________ _________________ _________________ [ ] Continuing Development _________________ _________________ _________________

    21. The 7Cs Pathways to Implementation Step 1 – Conduct a SWOT analysis. Inventory program strengths and weaknesses. Inventory program opportunities and threats.

    22. The 7Cs Pathways to Implementation Step 2 – Assess time and task. Record time engaged in 7Cs activities (e.g. counseling, consulting, classroom work, etc.) over a 4 to 6 week period. Sum columns for activity totals; sum “Total” line for “Grand Total.” Determine what percent of Grand Total column Totals represent.

    24. The 7Cs Pathways to Implementation Step 2, continued. Compare/contrast this percentage with established grade level norms for each activity. Shortfalls constitute under-subscriptions; excesses constitute over-extensions.

    25. The 7Cs Pathways to Implementation Step 3 – Identify needs. Administer surveys. Conduct interviews with various stakeholders. Hold focus groups with stakeholders. Invite visiting teams to review program. Randomly select/review student records. Canvass newspaper articles re: youth.

    26. The 7Cs Pathways to Implementation Step 4 – Complete a Summary Analysis of identified needs. Look for patterns and common themes; note sources of input. Connect needs information to (a) domains or area(s) of responsibility, and (b) delivery systems through which these can be addressed.

    27. The 7Cs Pathways to Implementation Step 5 – Revisit original SWOT analysis. Revise to reflect under-subscriptions and over-extensions from Time and Task as weaknesses and threats. Revise to reflect projected delivery system needs (weaknesses and threats) from Summary Analysis.

    28. The 7Cs SUMMARY ANALYSIS OF ASSESSED NEEDS

    29. The 7Cs Pathways to Implementation Step 6 – Develop Action Plan from revised SWOT to include … Objectives derived from weaknesses and threats. Strategies (used to reach objectives) derived from strengths and opportunities. Resources needed to implement strategies.

    30. The 7Cs Pathways to Implementation Step 6, continued. Person(s) responsible for implementation. Estimated time of completion (ETC).

    31. The 7Cs ACTION PLAN OBJECTIVE:______________________________________________________________________

    33. The 7Cs Future Thinking Continue to develop grade level norms re: all areas of emphasis. Validate steps to program implementation through field experience. Promote model with administrators Statewide. Advocate for model at local school district and State levels.
