Revise Your Strategic Plan into Short Cycles
Define strategic actions into cycles that are visible from the district office to the classroom.
Use short cycles of 30, 60, and 90 days to regularly check in on team progress. Regular rounding allows leaders to put their district, school, or team on the path to strategic success. We use a Leader Action Plan to make short-cycle planning manageable.
