Scenario 15 The Strategic Planning Process
Standard 1
Effective educational leaders develop, advocate, and enact a shared mission, vision, and core values, of high-quality education and academic success and well-being of each student.
Standard 8
Effective educational leaders engage families and the community in meaningful, reciprocal, and mutually beneficial ways to promote each student’s academic success and well-being.
In fall 2011, with Mr. Clark coordinating the process and the superintendent serving as a member of the committee, the district began developing a strategic plan that would propel the district into the 21st century. Care was taken to select individuals for the committee who represented the diversity of the district. Thirty-nine individuals, half of whom were district personnel (teachers, administrators, and students) and half of whom were community members (business affiliates, religious leaders, parents, and city government), formed the strategic planning committee. First, they met for several days in very intense sessions to identify operational procedures. An outside consultant was invited to provide training in the art of collaboration. Rules were established and everyone agreed to follow the rules, respecting the rights of individuals to disagree and foster a difference of opinion. After the training on collaboration was concluded and operational procedures were in place, Superintendent Wallace offered comments to the committee regarding her view of the district’s needs, passed out materials on state and national standards and assessment measures, and spoke about current trends in educational reform. She concluded her remarks by acknowledging Director Clark’s leadership skills and voicing support for him in the position of coordinator.
Operating on the assumption that everyone’s views are important and everyone has a meaningful role to play, the planning committee used a modified Delphi technique to generate information from all segments of the school community for inclusion in the strategic plan. From this process, which took several months, a mission statement that incorporated the core values of the district was developed. The committee distributed the statement and sought and received district and communitywide acceptance before continuing with the strategic planning process. The mission statement read as follows: It is the mission of the Arrowhead Consolidated School District to teach all students to the fullest extent, instilling in them a passion for learning and a readiness to pursue their personal careers in a manner that will enhance our democratic society. This mission emerged from the values that the committee identified from a values clarification study that was conducted throughout the district. The following core values emerged from the study:
Families are the foundation of the community, and parents and community members should participate in the educational process.
All individuals are accountable and responsible for their choices and actions.
All individuals have values.
All individuals have the capacity for continuous growth and development.
Honesty and integrity are central to building and maintaining trust and relationships.
Diversity is a strength that enriches a community.
People working together toward a common goal are more likely to accomplish that goal.
Schools should prepare students to be contributing members of society.
To achieve this mission, the planning committee identified five goals to be achieved by the year 2015:
Improve the readiness level of all students.
Improve educational outcomes at every school.
Improve staff effectiveness by providing professional development programs that are tailored to the needs of teachers in individual schools.
Strengthen parent and community participation in the educational process.
Design an open assessment process to measure student progress and make curriculum decisions.
After getting districtwide acceptance of the mission statement, the list of districtwide goals was agreed upon and under the leadership of the school principals, local site-based councils were established for each school. The councils consisted of administrators, teachers, staff, students, parents, and other representatives of each local school community. The councils then worked within each school to establish local school goals that were aligned with district goals. The attainment of local goals was facilitated by the establishment of school committees in the areas of curriculum, resource allocation, and professional development.
After the planning process was completed, in order to foster effective communication, the superintendent provided periodic written updates to every board member. In addition, she met weekly in face-to-face meetings with the board president and had monthly meetings with every board member. In almost every instance, a member of the staff made a presentation, with Mr. Clark taking the lead. Full disclosure was practiced with the board and the community.
Reflective Thinking
Critical Aspects of Leader Behavior
The school leader will develop a vision of high standards that is shared by all stakeholders, and barriers to achieving the vision must be identified, clarified, and addressed.
The school leader will accept responsibility for the current conditions of the school and encourage the faculty to do the work required for high levels of personal and organizational performance.
The school leader will encourage a culture of high expectations for self, student, and staff performance and apply learning and motivational theories.
The school leader will use data sources to collect information. The information will be analyzed, and strategies that enhance student achievement will be selected and implemented.
Describe how the traditional approach to modeling differs from the object-oriented approach.
Write a 750 word response to the topic: “Describe how the traditional approach to modeling differs from the object-oriented approach. Do you think that there are certain projects in which the object-oriented approach would not work as well as the traditional approach? Why or why not?”
· Use APA style writing as well as examples in the book for your projects
Explain the difference between financial statements and pro forma financial statements.
- Explain the difference between financial statements and pro forma financial statements. Describe how these statements are developed and used in financial management and planning.
Respond:
pro forma financial statement projects performance over a period that has not yet happened. By using fictitious data or assumptions about future values. Unlike a financial statement, which is based on previous actual transactions, financial statements are documents that describe a company’s operations and financial performance.
Describe how these statements are developed and used in financial management and planning.
Investors, market analysts, and creditors assess a company’s financial stability and profit potential using its financial statements.
A company’s financial performance for a future time can be predicted using pro forma financial statements. Pro forma predictions are used by businesses to help them prepare for the best-case and worst-case scenarios.
The knowledge a corporation may learn from pro forma income statements is crucial. The financial accounts can assist in estimating if generating new items would result in higher expenditures, for instance, if it is getting ready to create new products.
Financial statements include income statements, balance sheets, and statements of cash flows. Traders can use these three statements as educational tools to assess a company’s financial health and to determine its underlying worth quickly.
Should we be drilling for oil in the Arctic offshore?
Case Study: Environmental Ethics
Introduction
Read the following case study and respond to the question below.
In April 2010, the BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, killing 11 workers and spewing four million barrels of light crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. It was the largest oil spill in U.S. history and ranked among the top 10 world’s worst human-caused environmental disasters. Approximately 47,000 square miles, or one-fifth of the total area of the Gulf, was affected, as well as beaches and coastal marshes. Before it was finally contained three months later, the spill killed hundreds of sea turtles, sea birds, and marine mammals, in addition to countless fish. BP worked with the U.S. Coast Guard and other government agencies to contain the damage. BP ended active clean-up operation in November 2011 and is now focusing on restoring areas damaged by the spill.
Effects of the spill on the ecosphere and animal life will not be known for years, although recovery has been faster than expected. Hundreds of people, including fishers, shrimpers, and workers in the tourism industry, were out of work as a result of the spill. BP set up a $20 billion fund to compensate victims of the spill. Disputes overcompensation are still ongoing (1).
The explosion causing the spill occurred on April 20, 2010. On April 30, the U.S. Justice Department banned new drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. U.S. President Barack Obama used the authority granted to the president by the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Land Act, to withdraw all the Chukchi Sea and the majority of the Beaufort Sea in the Arctic from future oil and gas drilling. (2)
The Trump administration has opened up the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic U.S. coastal areas to oil and gas drilling. Environmentalists argue that it would be difficult or almost impossible to contain an oil spill in the Arctic because of the area’s remoteness, the ice cover, and the lack of daylight during the winter months.
Question: Should we be drilling for oil in the Arctic offshore?
