Strategic Planning

CIESC believes in using the strategic plan to transform the school district and to provide a multi-year guide to improving student learning. Our process seeks to maximize stakeholder input and feedback, develop specific and measurable goals and objectives, and design strategies collectively to ensure success. We work closely with the Superintendent and Leadership Team to ensure the focus of the process is centered on student learning and to help lead the planning.

There are 5 stages to our process:

1. Inquiry Stage

  • Investigate and Assess the current situation
  • Gather Perception Data and Student Achievement Data
  • Identify Strengths and Opportunities (Focus Group Discussions)
  • Prepare initial Readiness Assessment Report

2. Imagine Stage

  • Create Mission, Vision and Values Statements
  • Create a Profile of a Learner

3. Planning Stage

  • Formulate Strategy using CIESC Planning Template
  • Review Readiness Report and Prioritize Opportunities
  • Identify SMART goals, strategic actions, and metrics
  • Develop Timelines and Assign Oversight Responsibilities
  • Ensure Alignment (School Improvement Plans, Technology Plan, etc.)

4. Implementation Stage

  • Put the Plan into Action
  • Monitor Progress

5. Review Stage

  • Evaluate and Assess Strategic Actions
  • Revise Actions and Goals
  • Report back to School Board to Approve Strategic Plan 2.0

We also focus the plan around the four key elements of Teaching & Learning, Culture & Climate, Finance & Operations, and Community Engagement. These elements guide our discussions and inquiries and form the foundation of the plan.
