We have Title I plans, SIG plans, IDEA plans, ELL plans, plans for grant applications, plans for community engagement, plans for business partnerships, plans to improve achievement, plans to differentiate instruction, (yesterday I went to a meeting where we talked about a plan to differentiate evaluations!), plans to reduce truancy, plans to increase parent involvement . . . . and it goes on and on and on.
I'm moving to a new room so for the first time in a LONG time I decided to clean out my file cabinet last month. I never throw anything away. I found one thick file after another full of this plan or that plan. It was unreal. We write these plans, kill several forests to print them out and give everyone copies they never read, then we file them away and keep on doing what we've been doing, (sometimes that's in the plan and sometimes it isn't).
I should retire and start a business helping schools write plans. I feel like I have a PhD in plan writing, or at least in plan collecting 
We don't need any more stinkin plans.
