webinar: Strategically planning for the 2021-22 School Year

LLA Leadership Coach Eileen McLaughlin leads participants to use the LLA Strategic Planning Tool to reflect on the work of the 2020-21 school year and to begin planning for 2021-22. As schools and districts begin to plan to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, strategic planning is imperative to operate within what Ronald Heifetz would call the "adaptive phase." In this phase of a crisis, "[Organizations] must execute in order to meet today's challenges. And they must adapt what and how things get done in order to thrive in tomorrow's world." In using the LLA Strategic Planning Tool, you will consider how to involve stakeholders in doing this analysis and in the planning process to address identified gaps. You will be supported to consider how to best take inventory of the assets in your community in order that you might better leverage these in service of addressing equity gaps. The webinar will also allow time to consider how progress might be monitored as the community engages in the work.
