| Abstract: | School strategic plans are multi-year and annual plans produced through regular school review cycles to communicate a school's intentions for improvement. AERO conducted a literature review to understand the features of effective school strategic plans. Key findings include: (1) Plan quality is positively associated with student performance and achievement; (2) There are 2 important aspects to effective plans: form (structure) and content (goals, approaches and practices). Schools need to pay attention to both when constructing a plan; and (3) Overall, the features of an effective strategic plan are: (a) Compelling mission and vision statements; (b) Specific, sharp and select goals, approaches and practices; (c) Content on goals, approaches and practices aligns with the evidence on 'what works' for school improvement; (d) Defined processes for monitoring and evaluation that are data-informed, and contain clear performance measures and time frames; and (e) Coherence within and across documents (for example, across multi-year and annual plans). |
