Strategic Planning

Identify the Big Moves that Bring Your Vision to Life

Our strategic planning process is anchored by each school district’s Portrait of a Graduate, a locally developed and globally positioned vision that articulates your community’s aspirations for all students.

Our entire process involves the ongoing engagement of a representative Design Team. This team will ensure your strategic plan is informed by varied perspectives, is responsive to student needs, and inspires both ownership and action.
