More Information

Overview

Strategic planning is the process of defining a path forward and pursuing your vision of the future. It is crucial to improving your organization.

Engaging staff, students, families, and community stakeholders in this process is essential, and in turn builds a shared responsibility and ownership of the plan and recommended improvements. Their voices and perspectives inform the process at every step.

CLEE’s process makes stakeholder engagement fast and efficient. Our experienced team can quickly guide your team to identify areas of priority and strategies to improve the learning outcomes for students. This collaborative process results in a strategic plan that will guide your organization into the next 3-5 years. Take your improvement plan to the next level with our proven methods!

Testimonials

When it came time to create a new strategic plan this year, I made a crucial initial decision: get help! It was an easy decision. I knew the true cost of trying to do it all ourselves, so the investment in using an experienced partner was a bargain. The second easy decision was to partner with CLEE’s Strategic Planning services.

CLEE’s collaborative process has been key to our progress this time. CLEE has tools at every step to quickly gather input and feedback from all of our stakeholders: students, parents, and staff. We are collectively building a vision of a graduate to anchor our plan to student outcomes. This collaboration also allows me to fully listen and participate with stakeholders rather than being seen as “The Leader” in this process. Importantly, the plan belongs to all of us because it is being facilitated by CLEE.

The investment of community members across the district is remarkable and enduring. You can see and hear evidence of the plan living in classrooms, at Board meetings, at committee meetings, and in conversations with the school community and extended community. These groups connect with one another through the direction set by our Strategic Plan goals and priorities.
