Leaders want their school to be rooted in mission-driven, data-informed decision making, yet many schools struggle to create strategic plans that are not only aspirational but actionable. Join Mission & Data’s Jason Kern and Mike Cobb along with NAES Heads of School as they walk through research-based processes to develop an actionable strategic plan and effective methods for communicating progress to your community. Participants will receive strategies on how to develop a strategic plan that incorporates feedback from multiple constituencies across the school community and builds buy-in for implementation by considering the school’s organizational, programmatic and adaptive capacities. Learn how to align success metrics to strategic goals and how to build dashboards to keep school leaders and the board apprised of progress toward success.
As an Episcopal school you dwell at the intersection of four different organizational models: the faith community, the educational institution, the parent association, and the non-profit. Each of these models has a particular set of practices that are integral for achieving your missional and financial goals. Faced with this challenge you may find yourself questioning which path to take, all while managing the multiple responsibilities of running a school with insufficient time to discern and implement a path that will successfully meet your most fundamental needs.
Successful schools have Heads of School who lead, manage, and accomplish partnered with Boards who direct, protect, and enable. How is this accomplished? In this webinar, our presenters will discuss an approach that will provide participants with a model geared to enhance the alignment of key influencers of independent schools, Heads and Boards. Learn more about how professional assessment of school influencers can check alignment; how to define and align school influencer roles; and, once discovered, how they provide points on staying aligned. This powerpoint introduction will lead way to questions and discussion providing answers that better drive effectiveness in schools.
