Download or read book Stakeholder Driven Strategic Planning in Education written by Robert W. Ewy and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2008-11-13 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No school district becomes excellent without a strategic plan, but many remain mediocre with them. What makes the difference? This book has been written to describe what it means to engage in serious long-range or “strategic” planning and to provide solutions to the inadequacies and inconsistencies found in the way school districts approach this process. The book is intended to be as practical as possible, meaning that by understanding the design and following the suggested strategic planning team activities found in each chapter, you could facilitate this process in your district. All key components are described and multiple examples are used to help the reader understand the intent of each component and how the components fit together. In addition, questionnaires and surveys are included to simplify facilitation. The basic reference used to refine the Stakeholder-Driven Strategic Planning process is the Strategic Planning Category of the Baldrige Education Criteria for Performance Excellence.
Download or read book School District Leaders Use of Strategic Planning in a Changing Educational Landscape written by Joanne Lynn Frantzen and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine how superintendents conduct strategic planning in a changing educational environment. The literature suggests that superintendents must adjust to a new playing field that requires using already limited resources not only to educate students, but also position their schools as desirable in the market of public opinion. While the literature identified strategic planning as a valuable practice in educational leadership, very little research was available that provided a pragmatic view of how superintendents engage in the process. Superintendents involved in this basic qualitative study were able to identify the key components used for strategic planning, how other factors influenced the process, and how they linked the work of the strategic plan to action. The study participants all engaged in an entry plan process prior to beginning strategic planning. The information gathered from the entry plan helped the superintendents determine their next actions and, in several circumstances, formed the basis for the strategic plan. Learning about the culture and context of the district provided the superintendents with the information they needed to frame the strategic planning process in a way that would be well received, identify and involve a representative group of stakeholders, and design and implement a process that met the needs of the district. Superintendent experience, the needs of the district, and state and federal requirements also emerged as factors influencing strategic planning. Seven common components were represented in the approaches that the superintendents took in the strategic planning process: (a) determine board and community readiness, (b) utilize an external facilitation agent, (c) identify and involve stakeholders, (d) develop a shared vision, (e) determine priorities and goals, (f) develop strategies, and (g) solicit feedback and communicate through the process. Alignment of the strategies to the vision, goals, and priorities emerged as a key finding and served as parameters that empowered innovation and creativity. Linking the work of the strategic plan to action and monitoring progress happened through district and campus plans, superintendent evaluations, board and executive leadership retreats, goal-tracking documents, and campus visits, among other things.
Download or read book Guide to Strategic Planning for Educators written by Shirley D. McCune and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The industrial age is giving way to a new society, an information age first seen in the economic sector and now transforming U.S. social, political, organizational, and personal lives. Educational institutions must reorganize to meet the changing conditions of this new society. To help schools with strategic planning efforts, the three chapters of this publication explore the content, the process, and the leadership capabilities involved. The first chapter examines the forces affecting education, including economic restructuring factors: the nature of work, the power driving society (technology), the global economy, employment patterns, and work force composition. Demographic shifts (aging populations, racial and ethnic factors, family patterns, and sex roles) and organizational changes are also examined. Chapter 2 describes the strategic planning process and how it can address these conditions. Chapter 3 examines the leadership dimension of strategic planning, including four major elements that can significantly improve most districts' management systems: (1) information systems for decision-making, (2) a common sense of direction, (3) stakeholder participation, and (4) linkages among units. The chapter closes by listing characteristics of effective leaders. Included are several figures and 21 references. Appendices include an outline of probable directions for educational restructuring, external and internal scanning checklists, a pattern analysis of national planning assumptions, and an example of data analysis.

Download or read book The Principal and Strategic Planning written by William E. Webster and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For principals leading site-based structuring and improvement efforts, strategic planning is an important tool. Strategic planning melds short-term and long-term planning models and considers outside variables and school resources. Teaching staff, community members, district office personnel, and consultants all have essential roles in strategic planning. Additionally, strategic planning provides structure for accountability in school change and reform. Many reform efforts have failed largely because they did not utilize effective planning mechanisms. For principals, it is best to seek district wide support for strategic planning. Also, teachers, administrators, and others involved should attend strategic planning training sessions. Individual strategies and preventive action must be taken to limit resistance to strategic planning. Committees are the basic means for site-level strategic planning. An Organizational Status Report that includes data inventories of the school, staff, and community is the committee's first task. Next, a brief mission statement should be drafted defining where the school is and where it is headed. Broad goals and objectives, the means to achieve goals, should then be formulated. With goals and objectives set, specific activities can be planned. Finally, a monitoring system should be established. All parties should be familiar with the plan prior to implementation, and changes should be expected. (Contains 12 references.) (JPT)

Book excerpt: Strategic planning is a process that educational leaders must utilize to allow the organization to make its vision come into fruition. Bryson asserts that leaders must be masterful in this process to allow the organization to " . . . fulfill (its) mission, meet (its) mandates, and satisfy (its) constituents in the years ahead" (Bryson 1995, pg. ix). Strategic Planning is most successful when stakeholders adhere to the tenets outlined in Strategic Planning Theory. Oftentimes, shortcuts may impede the full benefits of the process.
