TACKLING BIG, SYSTEMIC, SCARY INSTITUTIONAL QUESTIONS

There are moments in a school’s institutional journey when a commitment to stewardship requires senior leaders and trustees to take on big, systematic institutional questions. Raising these topics can feel intimidating because we know that even starting the discussion can feel scary to members of the community. Addressing these critical questions and coming out stronger is best done through an agile combination of process design, group facilitation, savvy data analysis, and approachable data visualization. As a tangible example, we will use St. Anne’s-Belfield School’s discernment process weighing whether to continue their boarding program. The session will then trace how the school leveraged this process to accelerate progress once the decision had been made to reinvest in the residential life program and examine its impact on the holistic strategic priorities of the Preschool – Grade 12 community.
