We also offer on-demand courses covering four foundational Essential Actions in the Effective Schools Framework, the ESF Self-Assessment process, and goal writing for school improvement plans.

Strategic Planning and Performance Management

  • Understand why streamlined systems for monitoring program performance, engaging stakeholders in feedback, and collecting data to measure the impact of a program are critical.
  • Unpack the key elements of performance management and analyze current processes with a framework built around a sound theory of action.
  • Leave with an action plan to begin your district or campus change management process.

All sessions are virtual
