OVERVIEW

​

+ As you embark on strategic planning or implementation for the upcoming school year, do you find yourself confronted with an educational excellence challenge, or is there a complex problem of practice that demands your organization's urgent attention? 

​

+ Is your team contemplating a strategic pivot, made all the more pressing by the pandemic and/or political pressure? 

​

+ Perhaps you're seeking to re-center a problem of practice that hasn't yielded the desired impact.

 

The Accelerating Excellence for All (AEFA) Strategy Institute is here to support you in addressing the organizational challenges impeding your success.

​

In the realm of K-12 public education problems of practice have been magnified by the confluence of the COVID-19 pandemic and political polarization in the United States. This summer institute offers a unique opportunity for teams to engage deeply and strategically with these complex challenges.

​

Our Approach: AMPLIFY Your Impact

 

At the heart of the AEFA Strategy Institute is our proprietary AMPLIFY Your Impact Framework that supports teams to:

​

• Identify specific areas of challenge within their educational systems.

• Provide guidance for effectively addressing these challenges.

• Build the necessary infrastructure for initiating and sustaining progress.

 

Key Takeaways

 

By the end of the Strategy Planning Intensive, you and your team will walk away with:

​

• A profound understanding of the problem you are tackling and its root causes.

• An actionable Theory of Change to guide your efforts.

• A well-defined strategy for addressing your identified problem within a one-year timeframe.

• A comprehensive plan for managing resistance to change.

• A Legitimacy & Support Plan to garner the necessary backing for your initiatives.

• A robust Communications Strategy to engage stakeholders effectively.

 

Team Considerations

 

The institute is designed for teams consisting of eight (8) participants. This team structure is integral to the experience, and we also require the attendance of the superintendent or key decision-maker along with their team. 

​

To maximize learning and sustained impact, we recommend including members from various levels of your school system, tailored to the specific problem of practice you intend to address. This diversity of perspectives ensures a holistic and comprehensive approach to problem-solving and transformation.

Join us at the AEA Strategy Institute for an enriching and transformative experience. Together, we will confront the challenges of educational excellence, develop strategic solutions, and equip your team with the tools and insights needed to drive excellence within your educational system.
