K-12 School District Strategic Planning and Implementation

The planning process is just as important as the plan

Many strategic plans can look the same on paper, but the process and approach to creating your plan can have a profound difference on your district teams and broader community.

We support districts across the country to build and execute an inclusive, responsive, and effective strategic planning process that fosters alignment, builds trust, and establishes a strong leadership tone and tenure. Districts choose to work with use because:

   We listen for context and to create belonging.
   We adapt for the context of your community and evolve as we learn.
   Our processes lead to sustained change.

Robust Community Engagement

We help you develop and deploy a variety of community engagement tactics to accurately assess pain points through town halls, focus groups, empathy interviews, and more. We analyze the data for you to anchor your decision-making.

Communications Support

Ongoing Communications Support

We support you in the creation of multiple communications efforts along the way to keep the community abreast of your progress.

Committee Selection

Committee Selection & Effective Decisions

We make sure the decisions happen with the right people, at the right time, and in the right way.

Student Driven Data

Student-Driven Data

We offer a research validated suite of surveys to capture data, including indicators of student achievement and teacher effectiveness.

Professionally Branded Plans

We design final strategic plans that are as dynamic and diverse as the communities you serve and represent.

Implementation Guidance

We help you identify immediate next steps and offer long term implementation support to ensure your plan is executed with integrity.

We help you develop community trust through multiple touchpoints and intentional messaging.

Many strategic planning providers offer the design of the plan as the primary form of communication with your staff and broader community. Instead of working in silos and communicating once your plan is complete, we work with districts to develop multiple touchpoints for visibility into the process. We help you craft intentional messaging and think about the timing and format of each update.
