Strategic Planning

Rationale: Research suggests that the same strategy implemented effectively at one school can have up to five times the impact on student learning as it can at another school where implementation is more superficial. Members of the Administrative Transformation Team play a critical role in setting the direction within the action planning process, and as such, must be prepared to act as strategic leaders within it.

Learning Intention: Leaders will understand their role as strategic leaders within the A2A action planning process and the role of the Theory of Change in achieving Action Planning priorities.

Success Criteria: Teams will know they are successful when they…

• have an introductory understanding of the A2A Portrait of a Graduate and understand its purpose in the action planning process

• can articulate clearly the rationale for and purpose of a Theory of Change

• understand the action planning structure within Assessment to Achievement

• are prepared to act as strategic leaders in setting action plan priorities
