INTRODUCTION
This document presents a strategic plan for Brockton Community Schools. It establishes a five year (long-range) direction for Brockton Community Schools and provides a clear focus for future pursuits by identifying priorities for improvement. This strategic plan will be the culmination of analysis and work by a committee consisting of teachers, administrators, parents, student representative(s), alumni, and members of the Community Schools Advisory Board.
Community Schools currently oversees four major programmatic areas:
- academic support
- enrichment programs for students
- continuing education and ESL services for adults
- recreation and enrichment programs for the community
STRATEGIC PLANNING
Strategic Planning is a process for creating an organization’s preferred future. It is a long-range planning process for organizational renewal and transformation which provides a framework for improving programs, management functions and evaluation of an organization’s progress. This planning process helps organizations think and act strategically, develop effective strategies, clarify future directions, establish priorities, improve organizational performance, build teamwork and expertise and deal effectively with a rapidly changing environment.
Organizations implement strategic planning to effectively deal with changing in a proactive manner rather than a reactive manner by establishing a common purpose, a sense of direction, priorities for change and a blueprint for action. This plan presents an analysis of the organizations strengths and weaknesses as well as opportunities and threats (SWOT Analysis) anticipated by emerging trends and changing conditions. Based upon this understanding and analysis, this document defines the mission, vision, guiding beliefs, and goals which will guide Brockton Community Schools through the next five years.
