Strategic Planning is the cornerstone of every common-interest community. Without strategic planning, the community will never know where it is going – much less know if it got there. Moreover, strategic planning is a disciplined effort orchestrated to produce fundamental thought and action. This workshop will engage site-based and district level personnel in the process of identifying the current status of the school/ district; developing a meaningful mission and vision directly linked to a finite number of measurable objectives; defining operational values and parameters; determining organizational needs (strengths and critical weaknesses); prioritized actions and strategies; action plans; and identify steps for continuous improvement.
