The document discusses Dr. Kritsonis' framework of the "Ways of Knowing Through the Realms of Meaning" which identifies 6 patterns - symbolics, empirics, esthetics, synnoetics, ethics, and synoptics - that educational leaders can use in strategic planning. The framework provides a structure to develop a strategic plan that moves the organization towards its vision, connects leadership decisions to values, and supports high-quality, student-focused education. Strategic planning incorporating the six realms can help educational organizations assess needs, set priorities, and continuously improve.

Influence of the coach's method and leadership profile on the positivegabrielkristianto1
This document summarizes a study that investigated the relationship between coaching methods, leadership profiles, and the positive development of young athletes in team sports. The study involved 910 adolescent athletes and 57 coaches participating in an after-school sports program in Brazil. Ordinal logistic regression was used to analyze the associations between coaching methods (e.g. small-sided games), leadership behaviors (e.g. instruction, feedback), and perceptions of athletes' personal, social, cognitive, and goal-setting skills. The results suggest that the use of small-sided games and a democratic, supportive coaching leadership style are positively correlated with athletes' positive development. Autocratic coaching behaviors showed inverse associations with athletes' skills development.

Challenges in leading and managing people in educational institutions are worthwhile indicators that require constant checks and adjustments. These verifications are necessary because humans are complex beings and whose thinking faculties are not fixed and often guided by situational and environmental factors. Consequently, they must have divergent views which may pose unpredictable problems to administrators. Only very smart and ardent leaders maybe quick to detect, withstand and overcome such inevitables. The need for such challenges to be identified and controlled before they galvanize subordinates into negative behavioral tendencies cannot be under-estimated. This paper therefore examined possible challenges which may manifest as impediments or hindrances to the effective leading and managing of people in educational institutions in Cameroon. A number of challenges were examined and discussed in the paper. Suggestions for ways of checking and controlling the challenges have been made to serve as a reservoir of checks and guides for school administrators and leaders. The paper cautions school managers to be tactful and apply modern charismatic approaches in the control, directing of staff and managing of their institutions.

This document discusses the concept of change in educational settings. It defines change as the systematic transformation of education systems through structural changes to organizations, policies, programs and consideration of interconnections between components. Effective change requires individuals and groups to find meaning in what should change and how to go about it. Educational organizations experience a lot of change and it is important to understand how this change should be led and managed. While bringing about change is one aspect, leading and managing that change is another important aspect that requires innovation. The role of managers is to plan, budget, organize people, and help solve problems related to changes. Barriers to change include inefficient leadership, poor communication, lack of involvement of stakeholders and improper management of resources.

This document compares adaptive leadership theory and transactional leadership theory in the context of higher education leadership. Adaptive leadership considers both internal leader-follower relationships and external environmental factors when navigating complexity and change. It allows for flexibility. Transactional leadership focuses only on leader-follower exchanges and rewards for performance.
When comparing the theories' abilities to handle the environment, complexity, and follower motivation, the document finds that adaptive leadership is better suited for higher education. It considers all relevant factors, including potential changes, and facilitates collective problem solving. Transactional leadership is limited by its singular focus on exchanges and adherence to the status quo. Adaptive leadership also better supports follower development and motivation by accounting for individual needs.

This document compares adaptive leadership theory and transactional leadership theory in the context of higher education leadership. Adaptive leadership considers both internal leader-follower relationships and external environmental factors when navigating complexity and change. It allows for flexibility. Transactional leadership focuses only on leader-follower exchanges and rewards for performance.
When comparing the theories' abilities to handle the environment, complexity, and follower motivation, the document finds that adaptive leadership is better suited for higher education. It considers all relevant factors, including potential changes, and facilitates collective problem solving. Transactional leadership is limited by its singular focus on exchanges and adherence to the status quo. Adaptive leadership also better supports follower development and motivation by accounting for individual needs.

1) The document discusses how school leaders can use Dr. Kritsonis' six realms of meaning to strategically plan and solve educational problems. The six realms are symbolics, empirics, esthetics, synnoetics, ethics, and synoptics.
2) It emphasizes that school leaders must understand each realm and integrate them into strategic planning to improve parental involvement, bring positive change, and make schools successful.
3) Effective communication, data analysis, developing talents, and upholding high ethical standards are some ways the realms can guide strategic planning. This will help school leaders achieve goals and enhance the educational system.

The document discusses strategic planning in schools and how educational leaders can improve it. It proposes incorporating the six realms of meaning from Kritsonis (2007) into strategic planning: symbolics, empirics, esthetics, synnoetics, ethics, and synoptics. Doing so could help move strategic planning from a modern to postmodern approach and improve schools by creating detailed, collaborative plans focused on student success.

Ethical Decision Making In Education: Utilizing the Ways of Knowing through t...William Kritsonis
The document discusses William Kritsonis' framework of the six realms of meaning for developing whole persons through general education. The realms are symbolics, empirics, aesthetics, synnoetics, ethics, and synoptics. It provides examples of how these realms relate to concepts like responsibility, trust, professional development, effective communication, caring environments, ethical decision making, and codes of ethics in education. Overall, the document presents Kritsonis' view that applying the six realms of meaning can help guide ethical practice and decision making in educational organizations.
This document discusses applying postmodern thinking through six realms of meaning to improve education. It summarizes how each realm - symbolics, empirics, ethics, synoptics, esthetics, and synnoetics - can guide instructional leadership, organizational mission and culture, safety, student and community relations, and organizational improvement. The goal is to provide students with strong academic skills through effective, strategic planning using postmodern frameworks.
The document discusses the six realms of meaning as a framework for strategic planning in educational leadership. The six realms - symbolics, empirics, esthetics, synnoetics, ethics, and synoptics - provide fundamental patterns of human understanding. Effective strategic planning requires considering these realms of meaning to develop a plan that aligns with the mission and guides the development of students. A strategic plan also needs input from diverse stakeholders and ongoing assessment to monitor progress and outcomes.
This document discusses recommendations for improving ethical conduct in public education by implementing strategies from William Allan Kritsonis' "Ways of Knowing Through the Realms of Meaning". It begins by explaining Kritsonis' six realms of meaning: symbolics, empirics, aesthetics, synnoetics, ethics, and synoptics. It then focuses on the ethics realm and provides 10 recommendations to guide educational leaders, including establishing clear guidelines for ethical conduct, monitoring the organization, and modeling ethical behavior. Instructional practices can also be improved by incorporating ethics lessons and discussions. Overall, the document aims to illustrate how Kritsonis' framework can enhance ethical conduct in schools.

This document provides an overview of 11 articles written by doctoral students at Prairie View A&M University exploring the implementation of William Allan Kritsonis' Ways of Knowing Through the Realms of Meaning as a conceptual framework for strategic planning in education. The articles discuss how the six realms of meaning - symbolics, empirics, esthetics, synnoetics, ethics and synoptics - can be applied to areas like professional learning communities, instructional leadership, and school improvement planning. The document introduces each article and explains that they were written to partially fulfill a course requirement taught by Dr. Kritsonis on using his realms of meaning framework for strategic planning.
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) were developed through a collaborative effort by educators from all fifty states so that a clear concise set of uniform standards are available to guide K-12 instruction in the United States. Previous to the CCSS no such document existed in the United States. Thus, the CCSS are relatively new and some in the educational community welcome them with open arms while others hesitate to endorse them. This paper researched these divergent perspectives and found that research on educational change can point out the problems and benefits connected to CCSS. Some of this information targets the standards directly and some indirectly. A review of research literature helped present insights with some possible strategies for those who are eager to implement them and those who hesitate to embrace them as both groups work towards the implementation of CCSS which are now mandated by a majority of the 50 states. These insights suggest that implementation of the CCSS should be gradual and well supported so that all educators are adequately prepared and can help facilitate the changes CCSS will require.

Strategies that embed the mission and vision
It is possible for a school to convey its ethos, mission, goals, and values to its students, staff, and parents in a variety of different methods. A school's prospectus or handbook should present information in a way that is clear and easy to comprehend, taking into account the diverse ethnic group in the area and maybe translating the text into many languages. The website of the school is the spot that makes the most sense to transmit any sort of information regarding the institution as a whole, including its ethos and so on. The internet is the first place that people search for information in this day and age since it can be accessed from anywhere in the world and every school now has its own personal website. Again, in order to experience the true environment of the school, it is necessary to combine this mode of communication with a trip to the location itself.

The document discusses implementing postmodern strategic planning in educational organizations. It argues that postmodernism encourages flexible, practical strategic plans tailored to each organization. Traditional "one size fits all" strategic planning based on modernism is criticized for being too rigid. The author advocates that educational leaders abandon universal standards and instead develop innovative strategies based on their unique organizational needs and contexts. Strategic plans should empower self-learning and make schools learning communities. Data should be considered individually for each organization rather than driving standardized decisions. Overall, the document promotes postmodern strategic planning as a way to better guide educational organizations in the 21st century.

Introduction
The Ways of Knowing Through the Realms of Meaning (Kritsonis, 2007)
offers a pragmatic framework to strategic planning that will move educational
organizations in innovative directions. In developing a strategic plan, an educational
organization must implement Dr. Kritsonis’ (2007) six fundamental patterns of
meaning designated respectively as symbolics, empirics, esthetics, synnoetics, ethics,
and synoptics. Strategic planning is the process in which an educational organization
determines its current status, envisions its long-term goals, makes projections for the
future, and develops strategies to achieve those future aspirations. Strategic planning
must be flexible and practical and yet serve as a guide to implement programs to
evaluate the educational organizations progress. A strategic plan intertwining the six
fundamental patterns of the Ways of Knowing Through the Realms of Meaning
(Kritsonis, 2007) constructs innovative analytical and critical thinking that will
improve and enhance the performance of educational organizations.
Purpose of the Article
The purpose of this article is to discuss ways in which strategic planning
implemented by utilizing the Ways of Knowing Through the Realms of Meaning
(Kritsonis, 2007) creates a high performing educational organization. Skilled
strategic planning makes a current assessment of needs, develops the educational
organization’s future thinking, builds commitment, and serves as the guiding
document for the educational organization. Effective strategic planning includes
articulating the educational organization’s vision, mission, and values to set a course
for future aspirations.
The First Realm: Symbolics
The first realm of meaning is symbolics. Dr. Kritsonis (2007) states that
ordinary language such as gestures, rituals, and rhythmic patterns allow people to
communicate on a personal level. Effective leadership is the cornerstone of an
educational environment. Eaker and Gonzalez write about learning leaders.
They create systems and processes to engage collaborative teams of teachers
in 1) clarifying the essential knowledge and skills students are to acquire for
every course, grade level and unit of every instruction 2) developing frequent
common assessments to monitor each student’s learning on a timely basis, and
3) implementing a school-wide plan of intervention to guarantee students
receive additional time and support for learning as soon as they experience
difficulty. (Eaker & Gonzalez, 2007, p. 6)
The leader’s ability to articulate the educational organization’s vision, mission, and
values to propel the organization into its preferred future is essential. A vision
statement is a description upon which the organization aspires. It emphasizes where
the educational organization will be at a specific time in the future. The organizational
mission supports the vision and it describes the purpose of the organization. The
organizational values state the organization’s intentions and the organization’s core
21
2. CARMELITA THOMPSON and WILLIAM ALLAN KRITSONIS
priorities in the organization’s culture.
Implementing the strategic plan requires the use of symbolics. The vision must
be clearly communicated within the educational organization. The vision needs to
capture the present status of the educational organization, and serve to guide the
direction of the organization. As a means of setting a central goal that the educational
organization will aspire to reach, the vision helps to provide a focus for the mission of
the organization. The vision should resonate with every member of the educational
organization. The educational organization must clearly communicate its expectations
so that members are able to perform effectively. The strategic planning is effective
when it energizes and engages the educational organization.
This information is clearly communicated so the educational organization
works as a collective body to be successful. The educational organization’s mission is
a precise description of the organization’s purpose. It clearly and succinctly describes
the business of the organization. Each member of the educational organization should
be able to verbally express the organization’s mission. Value statements define how
people are expected to interact within the organization. The organization’s values are
used to evaluate the organization’s policies and actions. Effective organizations
identify and develop clear and concise shared values so that members of the
organization understand expectations. The vision, mission, and values must give the
educational organization spirit. The spirit will ignite the educational organization into
action.
The Second Realm: Empirics
The second realm of meaning is empirics. Empirics encompass facts and
discovering the truth. Dr. Kritsonis says, “These sciences provide factual
descriptions, generalizations, and theoretical formulations and explanations that are
based upon observation and experimentation in the world of matter, life, mind, and
society” (Kritsonis, 2007, p. 12). According to Dr. Kritsonis (2007), science is
concerned with matters of fact and facts refer to data of observation. Educational data
collection is vital for strategic planning in educational organizations.
Strategic planning, with an emphasis on empirics, provides an understanding
of the design of the educational organization’s assessment of needs, finances, and it
allows the organization to set specific data-driven priorities. The educational
organization is obligated to be data driven to aide accountability within the
organization. It is essential to the strategic planning of an educational organization to
conduct a continuum of critical analysis of the system, policy formulation and
appraisal, management and monitoring, and evaluation. Gathering data and analysis
of the current situation of the organization and the critical issues pertaining to the
organization’s status and functioning is required in an educational organization. The
strategic planning process requires a multi-method approach in gathering
comprehensive data. These multi-method approaches include standardized testing,
observation, surveys, interviews, document collection, and other formal and informal
measures of organizational status. Findings and remedial options are formulated to
provide policy orientations. As the system is analyzed, future direction can be
established. Specific programs may be developed or resources may be mobilized
based upon the information obtained through the data analysis. A continuum of
monitoring, review, and analysis takes places. The learning leadership understands
that the organization must continually change (Eaker & Gonzalez, 2007). The more

data educational organizations collect, the more effectively the organization can
improve. Assessment is required to constantly improve the strategic planning and
ensure the execution of the educational organization’s vision.
The Third Realm: Esthetics
Esthetics contains the various arts, such as music, the visual arts, the arts of
movement, and literature (Kritsonis, 2007). Esthetics, art, is the recognition of the
beauty of the aforementioned and it is unique to each person. “The term ‘visual arts’
designates the fields of painting, drawing, graphic arts, sculpture, and architecture, in
which the artist shapes tangible materials into objects of esthetic importance”
(Kritsonis, 2007, p. 299). Physical education, health, and recreational activities are all
closely interrelated resources for the enrichment of the individual persons and in the
life of society. Dr. Kritsonis says that health means wholeness which may be
regarded as personal wholeness (2007).
It is essential that strategic planning of an educational organization include a
commitment to the development of the whole child. The educational organization is
obligated to encourage and enable students to become responsible and actively
engaged members of society. An educational organization should build a community
of children who are valued and nurtured learners. Educational organizations must
consider students well-being and incorporate social, economic, and health concepts
into strategic planning. The complexity of well-being makes esthetics an important
component in strategic planning. The academic achievement of students should
support their exploration of perspectives and cultures from around the globe. The
educational organization must be prepared to create citizens who are broadly and
deeply educated, who can think critically, be creative, communicate across cultures,
and apply the knowledge they acquire to the global society.
The educational organization needs to include the arts in its strategic plan. It
is imperative that educational organizations make meaningful connections across
academic disciplines and everyday life. The arts can reinforce skills that connect
learning to the real world. The additional positive effects of art education on student
learning include attendance, communication, and critical thinking. Art education also
requires discipline and skill which carries over into the community. A study
conducted by Allen, Edmonson, and Fisher (2009) revealed art to benefit students’
verbal and linguistic skills. Allen, Edmonson, and Fisher’s findings were,
The nature of fine arts classes was to help students better demonstrate ideas,
feelings, and emotions through expressive use of their body and creative skills.
This training could be beneficial to students in the form of written expression
through TAKS writing and also help students in the reading portion of the
TAKS. (Allen, Edmonson, & Fisher, 2009, p. 47)
The Fourth Realm: Synnoetic
The fourth realm is synnoetics. Dr. Kritsonis describes synnoetics as “…
meanings in which a person has direct insight into other beings (or oneself) as
concrete wholes existing in relation” (Kritsonis, 2007, p. 393). Synnoetics can easily
23
4. CARMELITA THOMPSON and WILLIAM ALLAN KRITSONIS
be ascribed to strategic planning. It is imperative that an educational organization
understand its present position to understand its future aspirations. Critical analyses
of the educational organization’s internal and external environments provide
information to assess the organization’s current needs and needs for future planning.
The heart of strategic planning is flexibility and ongoing evaluation of both the
strategic plan and the planning process to ensure the organization’s success. Dr.
Kritsonis clearly states, “A person is a being who both remembers and anticipates. He
is related not only to himself as present, but also as past and as future” (Kritsonis,
2007, p. 397). This statement can be applied to the educational organization as well.
The educational organization must have knowledge of itself to provide the best
educational opportunities today, tomorrow, and into the future. The educational
organization must gain a historical perspective to determine how previous perceptions
influenced current initiatives. The educational organization must also understand the
external environment, the global market, to meet the needs of students and prepare
them for global challenges.
The Fifth Realm: Ethics
The fifth realm is ethics. According to Dr. Kritsonis, “The essence of ethical
meanings, or of moral knowledge, is right deliberate action, that is, what a person out
to voluntarily do” (2007, p. 443). An educational organization must incorporate
ethics in its strategic planning. The educational organization must establish policies
or codes of conduct. Steven Bowman (2008) explains that the best way to describe
ethics is by utilizing the following four words: rights, obligations, fairness and
integrity. He goes on to say that these words have energies underlying them that seem
to get at the basis of ethical considerations.
Ethical standards are important to ensure that the educational organization
operates within the law and is viewed by the public as an ethical organization of
learning. Codes of ethics within educational organization are necessary for promoting
ethical teaching practices. The educational organizational must conduct a continuum
of evaluation to promote ethical standards within the organization. Ethics provide
justification for the actions that occur within the organization. Ethics provide the base
upon which the vision, mission, and values are created.
Some other important ethical codes that are addressed in educational
organizations are honesty, integrity, and respect. These beliefs are the very
foundation of culture and civilization. The educational organizations must encourage
students to collaborate across disciplines and learn the viewpoints and contributions
of others. This combination of depth in learning fosters critical thinking skills,
creativity, integrity, responsibility, and ethics.
The Sixth Realm: Synoptics
Synoptics is the sixth realm. Dr. Kritsonis says this about synoptics, “This
term comprises meanings having an integrative function, uniting meanings from all
realms into a unified perspective that is, providing a “single vision” on “synopsis” of
meanings” (2007, p. 483). Dr. Kritsonis relates that history is concerned with the
understanding of past events. The historian must describe, order, and interpret events
24
5. CARMELITA THOMPSON and WILLIAM ALLAN KRITSONIS
(2007). Understanding the past of the educational organization is a basic premise for
strategic planning. By reviewing the organization’s history, the strategic planning
builds upon past accomplishments or failures to broaden the organization’s reach.
This type of planning builds a bold and aggressive educational organization to keep
pace with social, economic, and demographic trends with proactive performance
measures that gauge organizational success.
The educational organization’s strategic planning method should include a
thorough analysis of the organization’s history and current situation. The educational
organization must review important milestones to determine their influences on the
organization. Effective strategic planning requires the educational organization to
visualize the organization’s future status by looking back at its past history. It is
necessary for educational organizations to be committed to being more responsive to
society. Educational organizations are obligated to provide educational services
required by present and future citizens to make the contributions needed to sustain
society. The educational organization will meet these obligations by properly
utilizing resources provided by taxpayers. Although Miech is skeptical about strategic
planning in education, he writes, “Strategic planning can also play an important public
relations role in education. For example, strategic planning in education can help
improve school-community relations by involving parents and community members
in the formal strategic planning process” (Miech, 1995, section 8). The strategic plan
can bridge the gap between the schools and the community. The strategic plan also
includes the educational organizations commitment to providing access to a broad
range of educational services.
Concluding Remarks
In conclusion, education is a focal point for American society today. The No
Child Left Behind Act of 2001, signed into law by President Bush in 2002, is a
reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (Education Week,
2004). The No Child Left Behind Act has expanded the federal government’s role in
education. This came about because of the wide concern about the state of education.
This legislation is expected to target every public school in America. At the core of
the No Child Left Behind Act are a number of provisions designed to ensure broad
gains in student achievement and to hold states and schools more accountable for
student progress (Education Week, 2004).
The need for effective strategic planning is critical for all educational
organizations. The constant challenges in education and pressures of student
achievement will be guided by a well-developed strategic plan that serves as an
integral part of day-to-day leadership and future aspirations in educational
organizations. Dr. Kritsonis’ Ways of Knowing Through the Realms of Meaning
(2007) provides a pragmatic framework that connects strategic planning to the six
realms of meaning. The six realms provide the foundations for strategic planning that
will be vision, mission, and value driven which will create a successful educational
organization. The strategic planning aligns the organization with the environment and
explores perspectives and cultures from around the globe to achieve long-term
stability. Strategic planning is an ongoing process. Strategic planning in an
educational organization will provide a framework to support high-quality, student-
focused education.
