Strategic Planning for School Leaders

Strategic Planning for School Leaders equips readers with critical knowledge regarding the practices and leadership skillsets needed to establish and lead the strategic planning process within the school setting. Readers learn how to cultivate and channel visionary, curriculum, managerial, cultural, ethical, and political leadership to create effective school improvements and support academic achievement. The opening chapter defines strategic planning and illuminates how the strategic planning process applies within the school setting. Additional chapters cover the Every Student Succeeds Act; conducting needs assessments and analyzing the resulting data; developing and prioritizing goals and objectives; and the importance of consistently building the instructional abilities of those who are working with and teaching students. Closing chapters demonstrate how to effectively monitor, assess, and evaluate strategic plans with emphasis on the cyclical nature of the strategic planning process and the need for ongoing, continuous improvements. Featuring practical illustrations of the strategic planning process, vignettes based on the authors' experiences, and ample reflection opportunities, Strategic Planning for School Leaders is a valuable resource for courses and programs in educational leadership and school administration.
