Strategic Vision Planning for School Leaders
€30,00
From Vision to Meaningful Action in Your School
Extended On-Demand Webinar | €30
A strong school vision is more than a statement written in a school plan. It should provide direction, influence decision-making, shape priorities and help a school community understand not only where it is going, but why.
Strategic Vision Planning for School Leaders is an extended, practical webinar designed for principals, deputy principals, assistant principals and aspiring school leaders who want to develop a clearer and more purposeful approach to strategic leadership.
Originally developed as a one-hour professional learning webinar, this extended recorded version allows the topic to be explored in greater depth, giving school leaders time to consider the practical processes involved in moving from vision to priorities, action and sustainable school improvement.
What does the webinar cover?
The webinar explores:
- What strategic vision means in the context of school leadership
- Moving beyond a vision statement to a vision that genuinely informs practice
- Identifying the values and purpose underpinning your school’s direction
- Understanding your school’s current context before deciding where you want to go
- Identifying realistic short-, medium- and longer-term priorities
- Connecting strategic vision with School Self-Evaluation (SSE) and ongoing school improvement
- Making meaningful connections with Looking at Our School (LAOS) 2022
- Using evidence, reflection and consultation to inform priorities
- Involving staff and the wider school community in developing a shared vision
- Building ownership rather than simply communicating a leadership decision
- Translating broad goals into achievable actions
- Balancing immediate operational demands with longer-term strategic leadership
- Reviewing progress and ensuring that strategic planning remains a living process rather than another document on the shelf
- The role of distributed and shared leadership in sustaining improvement
- Throughout the webinar, the emphasis is on making strategic planning practical, manageable and relevant to the reality of busy schools.
Who is it for?
This webinar will be particularly useful for:
Principals | Deputy Principals | Assistant Principals | Aspiring School Leaders | Leadership Teams
It may also be useful for leaders preparing for interview, as strategic vision, school improvement, collaborative leadership and the capacity to lead change are important areas of leadership practice.
Why this course?
School leaders are frequently required to respond to what is urgent. Strategic leadership asks us to create space for something different:
- Where are we now?
- Where do we want our school to go?
- Why does it matter?
- How will we bring people with us?
- And how will we know that we are making progress?
This webinar provides a structured approach to answering those questions and turning a vision for your school into meaningful action.
Learn in your own time and revisit the content as you develop and refine your own approach to strategic vision planning.
