Barnstead Elementary SchoolStrategic Plan to PlanAugust 27, 2012Tim Rice1

AbstractWe are a SINI-DINI School entering Year 4-Reading/Year 3-Math which places us in the Planning for Restructuring category. There is new leadership in the district and the current Barnstead Elementary School Strategic Plan expired at the end of this past school year; it was designed as a five-year plan; from 2007-2012.We have a new AYP designation provides ample motivation and opportunity to take a fresh look at where we have been and to where we need to go. We would like to take this year to create a new Strategic Plan that incorporates the principles, strategies, current research, and implementation activities to create a new five-year plan.2Problems that are created by our current level of thinking cant be solved by that same level of thinking

What is our Mission?What function does BES provideWho does BES primarily perform/provide?How do we perform?What is our Vision?Do we like our current Vision Statement?Is it critical for change?Doe it represent constant purpose for BES?Inspire & Invigorate?Ultimate standard of measurement for all at BES?13To borrow from someone else with a plan,

We need:- Data/History of the school and how we are doing- Notebooks with data, information, budgets, etc.- Orientation (why are we hear & what is our job?)The line between failure and success is so fine that weare often on the line and do not know it.How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience, would have achieved success.A little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.Elbert Hubbard1856-1915
