Eeducational partners are on the same page by allowing them to
contribute to and shape our strategy from the start. Lack of alignment
about what strategy involves can hinder even the best plans. So, the first
step in creating a successful strategic plan is getting everyone involved to
provide their insights and opinions. Letting our people know we are
listening and that their insights affect decisions, builds trust and buy-in.
The community will be much more likely to support—not sabotage—a
strategy or decision. According to some school of taught, creating a school
strategic plan should always be a collaborative process. Avoiding a top-
down approach and getting input from educational partners will help
minimize blind spots and unlock collective intelligence. It will also ensure
everyone is committed to the plan. Get all community members involved
in how to make the most of the school’s possibilities.
Commit to becoming a collaborative leader and put a plan in place to
ensure to achieve that goal. That may include implementing technology
that can support scaled, real-time discussion safely and inclusively for
students, teachers, and other educational partners.
Getting a holistic view of educational partners’ wants and needs helps
build more inclusive, supported strategic plans.
