Can more than one person work on the Action Plan at any one time?
Yes. In fact, it is recommended that planning and implementing actions be a team effort with a leader(s) assigned responsibility for each action the team decides to pursue. In addition to distributing the work so that no one team member is overburdened, distributing the work also allows for more efficient progress and promotes team solidarity. The online version supports this approach by allowing more the one user to enter data on their school’s HSAT Action Plan. Care must be taken to assign data entry to only one user per action to prevent one team member from overwriting another person’s work. Although many team members can work on the Action Plan at one time, it is important that the team as a whole reach consensus on the overall goals they wish to achieve and the actions they would like to implement to support those goals. The team should also work together to make sure responsibilities are assigned fairly and effectively.
