School Strategic Planning
- Where are you now?
- Where do you want to be?
- How do you get there?
- How do you measure your progress and know you have reached there?
Many schools spend their time in a reactive mood, facing unexpected changes instead of anticipating and preparing for them. This is called crisis management. As the world’s economy is continuously shifting, powerful forces are impacting your school, your students, and your staff. Now more than ever, School Boards need a comprehensive plan to maximize your school’s strengths, foresee possible threats, reduces your weaknesses, and takes advantage of future opportunities. Many organizations spend their time playing a “catch up game”. They use up their resources and energy coping with immediate problems with little or no energy left to anticipate and prepare for the next challenge. This cycle locks many institutions into a reactive mood. A sensible alternative is our well tested planning process that provides a viable alternative to crisis management. Strategic planning is a step by step process with definite goals and end products that can be implemented and evaluated. It is the process by which your school will look into the future, paint a picture of that future based on current events, and influence the forces that will affect you.
