Quarterly Planning


Biggest Takeaways You Don't Want to Miss:

  • Goals without a solid plan to achieve them are merely wishes.
  • Everyone has big goals but not everyone is willing to take the actions they need to take to achieve them.
  • If your plans simply address problems but do not eliminate them, then your plans are a waste of time. 
  • People say that they want success for every student, but their SIP plans tell a different story…
  • Every problem you face in schools really boils down to 1 of 3 issues -- It is a threat to your vision, it takes you off mission, or it violates your core values.
This episode is next in a series of practical episodes about how to focus on the right work and stop wasting time on things that don’t matter.

I’ll take you step-by-step through the simple process Builders use and show you how this process can help you eliminate your biggest challenges on-by-one #LikeABuilder. 

Check out these highlights:
