Explain the purpose for the educational organization.
In Week 6, you selected a scenario and formulated goals that could be used as part of a strategic plan. In this assignment, as an educational leader, you are to create a strategic plan that provides stakeholders with information about what you want the school or organization to achieve and the process by which it plans to get there. The plan will inform stakeholders of:
· The name and purpose of the selected school or organization.
· The strategic plan goals.
· The key initiatives.
· The actions to achieve the selected goals.
· The necessary resources for implementation.
· How the plan can improve student achievement, retain great teachers or faculty, and enhance leadership
Create a 5–7-page strategic plan in which you:
1. Explain the purpose for the educational organization.
2. Evaluate the key initiatives of the strategic plan.
3. Develop three actions to be taken during the implementation phase, including any necessary resources, and how they will achieve the plan’s goals.
4. Evaluate the effectiveness of the strategic plan, including how it will improve student achievement, retain teachers or faculty, and enhance leadership.
5. Use six sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides , the Education Database , or the Master of Education library guide .

Project Title: The Mastery of the Ethical, Legal and Financial Dimensions.
Project Aim and Purpose: The aim of this project is to illuminate the financial, legal and ethical dimensions of the problem, and to recommend a solution (or analyze how a corporation handled a situation) that makes sense financially, legally and ethically.
Project Learning Outcomes:
1. Examine the current factors which are driving increased awareness of business ethics in today’s business environment.
2. Provide some clarity to the lexicon of business ethics and related terminology.
3. Engage with current issues in the business environment and society at large, as presented in the media.
4. Investigate ethics in a variety of functional areas of business including information technology, human resource management, marketing, accounting, entrepreneurship and international business.
5. Present ethical principles, which are of relevance in these key functional areas.
6. Review the theoretical foundations of ethics.
7. Provide guidelines to assist with ethical decision-making and discuss the strategies that can be used to strengthen the ethical climates of organizations. The students in groups will research and present a case in class as well as a written report.
Project Structure: Full Presentation
Students select an appropriate case. Each student prepares a presentation in which students explain the legal, financial and ethical dimensions of the problem. You then recommend a solution that must pass the master on all three counts. Presentations should be around 20 slides.
The idea of the exercise is to help students see that it is possible to do business profitably while at the same time acting ethically. The format that works best is for a team to think of itself as either an internal or outside consulting group that has been asked by senior management or the Board to analyze the problem and propose a solution.
I recommend that you think about your presentation in either of the following two ways:
A) You describe a problem that some business is facing, and you then propose a solution. Your description of the problem should include its business, legal and ethical dimensions. BE SURE TO EXPLAIN HOW THIS PROBLEM HAS AN ETHICAL DIMENSION. (See the section on “handling the ethical issues” below.) Explain how your solution: is legal, makes sense financially, and is ethically defensible. BE SURE TO EXPLAIN WHY YOUR SOLUTION IS ETHICALLY ACCEPTABLE.
B) You describe a problem that some business has faced and the solution that it chose. Your description should include its legal, business and ethical dimensions. BE SURE TO EXPLAIN HOW THIS PROBLEM HAS AN ETHICAL DIMENSION. You will then evaluate the company’s solution from business and ethical perspectives. BE SURE TO EXPLAIN WHY THE COMPANY’S SOLUTION IS ETHICALLY ACCEPTABLE OR UNACCEPTABLE. If you think it is unacceptable, propose an alternative solution and explain why yours is better.
Be certain that you are ultimately taking a position. That is, do not simply report on different ways that the issue can be regarded. If your team cannot agree about what position it should take, explain the majority and minority positions and set out the areas of differences.
Your overall goals are: to illuminate the financial, legal and ethical dimensions of the problem, and to recommend a solution (or analyze how a corporation handled a situation) that makes sense financially, legally and ethically. Here are some suggestions for covering these three areas.
HANDLING THE FINANCIAL ISSUES. Identify the financial impact of the problem and the financial implications of the solution. This isn’t so much an exercise in detailed financial
analysis (although feel free to do so, if you like that sort of thing) as much as an explanation of: how (and to what extent) the problem raises or lowers the company’s costs or profits; how expensive your solution is; whether the company is in a position to afford your solution; and the like.
HANDLING THE LEGAL ISSUES. Identify laws, regulations or court cases that effectively restrict what the company may do. Obviously, significant fines or settlements are important financial issues.
HANDLING THE ETHICAL ISSUES. One-third of your score will depend on how well you handle the ethical dimensions of your case. You will be expected to operate within a framework that discusses ethics in terms of a) the tangible good and/or harm experienced by those affected (humans and, if appropriate, nonhumans) and b) the “rights” or fundamental moral principles involved. (In other words, you are expected to utilize a secular, philosophical framework.). This can be done by answering the following series of questions:
– Does the problem/solution harm anyone?
– Are there ways that those harmed (or others) are benefited in a way that justifies the harm? Does the good outweigh the harm?
– In thinking about these benefits and harms, are you considering that some goods are qualitatively better than others and that some harms are qualitatively worse than others?
– Completely apart from the tangible impact of the problem/solution on those affected, is everyone involved being treated appropriately? That is, are there specific “rights” or “duties” that are a part of this case that must be respected? Is there a conflict of rights, duties or obligations? How should the conflict be handled?
An even simpler way of approaching this is to use just two ideas, which, it is fair to say, are good candidates for universal moral principles:
– Do no harm. (Do nothing that increases the risk of harm. If you’re responsible for harm, repair the damage).
– Treat others appropriately. (Actions should respect principles of fairness, justice, equality, truthfulness, dignity, etc. Act responsibly. Keep agreements.)

1. Identify and discuss the basic ideals and principles of American democracy and how they are applied in our republican form of government.
Those ideals and principles are discussed in the first and second chapters of your textbook. You can also visit the following websites to read the original document in which these fundamental values were first stated and how they were later incorporated in the American Constitution:

2. Identify the most important Supreme Court cases and executive actions and their impact on law and on our society.
The history of the United States has been marked by the progressive expansion of voting rights and the protection of its citizens through legislation and Supreme Court decisions. At the same time, executive orders, particularly in periods of crisis led to the violation of individual rights. Throughout this module these issues are covered. In chapters 3 and 4 you will find the information you need to answer this question. You are also encouraged to visit the following websites for further details.
