  9. Your 1st Task: SWOT Analysis(as a group) STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES OPPORTUNITIES THREATS

  10. Your 2nd Task: Create Questions When community/stakeholder sessions are held, we will provide participants with heaps of information, including a summary of your SWOT analysis. We will also inform their thinking by asking them questions to consider in the process. Your task, as a group, is to come up with 2-4 questions that you would like to see answered through strategic planning.

  11. Your 3rd Task: Key Words One task of the Community/Stakeholder sessions is to develop a new vision statement that describes what stakeholders would like to see our Schools become – a statement of your aspirations. Individually, come up with 3-5 key words that you suggest would be included in the district’s new vision statement.

  12. Next Steps • In process outlined earlier, last step is a formal, written report to the Board of Education. • Your work as a Board doesn’t stop while we do strategic planning, and it doesn’t stop when strategic planning finishes. • But if we do our job well, the report will help us all to make better decisions.
