Many districts have well-developed strategic plans that incorporate the school community’s vision, mission, values, and goals. These frameworks are critical for a district’s successful future, and yet the plan itself is just the beginning. Even the most comprehensive plans sometimes stall or remain unaccomplished, often without a true understanding of the root cause.
This session explores best practices to develop a strategic plan, offers guidelines to assess a current plan’s effectiveness, and reviews the most common obstacles to success. It then goes a step further to provide proven implementation methods to achieve results including tools designed to bring the strategic vision to reality through clarity and accountability. Lastly, it incorporates recommendations to ensure stakeholder engagement across the district staff, the school board, and the broader community.
