STRATEGIC PLANNING
A Process – Not a Product

Strategic planning is not about implementing a vision handed down from above.
It is a collaborative process that brings people together to identify priorities, strengthen practice and create a pathway for continuous improvement.

Do you find leading the development of Strategic and Annual Plans a challenge?
Are your plans realistic, achievable, measurable and genuinely useful?
Do they improve outcomes for all learners – both kaiako and tamariki?
Does Quality Improvement Planning drive meaningful conversations between leaders, teachers, governance and the wider learning community?

Register now for this focused online session, designed to connect the key systems that support ongoing improvement, including Strategic Planning, ERO Key Next Steps, Review and Evaluation, and Professional Growth Cycles.

In this session we will explore:
🔎 Connections to the Governance, Management and Administration section of the April 2026 Licensing Criteria.
🔎 A practical process for developing Strategic and Annual Plans that drive continuous improvement.
