CEC guides the development of long-range plans that help schools, districts, and unions understand where they are, where they need to be, and what it will take to get there.
The process includes a stakeholder representative strategic plan team.
The team conducts:
→An Orientation to learn their roles and responsibilities
→A Data Retreat to determine where the district is currently around key data and information. The team identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats
→A Vision Retreat to determine a preferred future of where it wants to be in ten years. This includes shared mission, vision, values and commitments.
→A Goal/Strategy Setting Retreat to identify long-range goals, indicators, measures, and strategies.
The final plan will include shared mission, vision, values/commitments, long-range goals, with indicators and measures, and high-priority strategies that will address gaps. The plan will include a data system for shared accountability to measure and report progress.
