The document outlines the steps for developing a strategic plan for a school. It discusses gathering data on the current state, developing a vision and goals, creating a plan with projects and timelines, implementing phases of the plan, and assessing impact and adjusting the plan as needed. Key aspects of strategic planning include collaboration, applying ideas across the curriculum, making data-driven decisions, and focusing on facilitating meaningful change to meet student needs through creativity and innovation.
