This document provides an overview of strategic planning for schools and organizations. It discusses defining a mission, vision and values through environmental scans and SWOT analyses. The strategic planning process involves setting goals and objectives that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. Implementation plans outline tasks, timelines and funding. Communication and evaluation ensure plans are monitored for continuous improvement. A variety of tools like appreciative inquiry, public consultation and surveys can aid the strategic planning process.
HOW TO USE THIS DOCUMENT
• Intentions: Organizational intentions will determine the processes, goals, and objectives to be developed, and the actions (behaviors) associated with those goals.
• Goals: While there are various modes of planning, a goals-based model is best for organizations who have completed little to no strategic planning to date.
• Alignment: Framed by organizational intentions, planning teams are guided in the conceptualization and development of organizational structures, situational analyses, identification of objectives, and evaluation of action plans designed in alignment.
PARTICIPATION, SELF-DIRECTION, AND COLLABORATION
Participants are encouraged to work with a planning team. The planning team will have access to all documents related to the organization’s strategic plan. As these documents are internal, they are only accessible to those who have a ‘link.’
The governing board, executive leadership and support staff will work in collaboration and self-direction to complete phases 1-5 as outlined in this Strategic Planning Process Framework. As the planning team progresses through each phase of the Strategic Planning Process Framework, there will be opportunities to create content for each phase-specific section. Documentation of the entire process - from the consultant’s strategic plan of developing the framework to the activities resulting from the planning retreat, and the action plans themselves - will be completed in each phases’ corresponding process planning document.
• Strategic Planning Process Framework – Guide to planning, assessing, analyzing, evaluating and implementing the Strategic Plan
• Process Planning Documents – Documents linked in the Strategic Planning Process Framework, where content is developed to create assessments, analyses and evaluations of data supporting action plans implemented as part of the organization’s strategy
• Strategic Plan – The final document representing the action plans, time-frames, and goals which will comprise the organization’s operational plan for the next 3 to 5 years
The methodology for this comprehensive strategic plan, and process prioritization is developed to foster a culture of alignment for start-up phase organizations
• Goals-based: Planning processes are framed by long-term goals & work backwards
• Alignment-centric: Organizational intentions are aligned with goals and processes
• Integration-contingent Organizational behaviors (activities) reflect an integration of symbolic values, mission aligned goals, negotiated objectives and action plans, structured monitoring and controlling of processes, and annualized evaluations.

Strategic Management: The Ultimate Goal of Strategic Planning Kathy Brandt
Developing a strategic plan is the first step in leading a strategic organization. The efficacy of the plan is judged not by how many goals you achieve, but in how well you utilize the plan to strategically lead your organization. According to the Balanced Scorecard Institute, strategic organizations implement processes to “systematically coordinate and align resources and actions with mission, vision and strategy.”

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
