Part II: Implementation: Seven Steps to Dene Kede

 Step One: The Gathering

The Regional administration meets with its community school administrators. At this meeting, decisions are made about funding, orientation and in-service to support Dene Kede programs. The value of a "team approach" to program implementation is emphasized. (See pages 7-8 of this Teacher's Resource Manual).

An implementation accountability plan is developed which includes the following:

• allocation of monies for Dene Kede.
• schedule of Dene Kede orientation and in-service.
• plan for school based teams.
• outline of criteria for evaluation of Dene teachers and Dene Kede programs.
• outline of ongoing roles and responsibilities of the supervisor of schools, consultants, principals, and the Teaching and Learning Centres in the implementation process.
