Strategic Planning

Creating strategic plans in a central office is only the first step. Education Direction shows you how make performance management systems, dashboards, scorecards, and key performance indicators relevant to classrooms, turning strategic planning into student learning.

Strategic plans, school improvement plans, dashboards, scorecards, and performance indicators are developed with the best of intentions. However, these plans and systems often fail to effectively translate from administrative venues into the classroom environment, where change is required to improve student outcomes. Education Direction applies a variety of techniques, many of which come from Data Wise (2005, Harvard Education Press) and Data Wise in Action (2007, Harvard Education Press), to implement a course of action which translates the objectives into the improved learning leaders seek.Education Direction's team has the training and educational experience--teaching, administrating, and policymaking--to effectively implement initiatives that improve instruction and increase student learning.

Engaging Education Direction will empower the schools in your jurisdiction to turn strategic plans, dashboards, and scorecards into action plans that will drive daily improvements in the classroom that profoundly impact student learning.
