students can do better?

money or people will it need and how will it get
this?
•How will we know if/when the school has been
successful?

18. DOS

19. DON’TS
• Forget to consider how you will
resource your plan
• File your plan away and only look at it
once a year when reflecting on
progress
• Create a set of “wish lists” – your plan
must be practical and do-able
• Crowd the plan with operational issues
