Join school leaders Lucy Goldstein (Episcopal High School), Jessica Keough (Westminster School), Allison Letourneau (Berkshire School), and Mission & Data’s Chief Operating Officer Jason Kern, as they discuss operationalizing their strategic plans. This session focuses on how to make a strategic plan a practical, living framework that guides yearly goals, decision-making, and accountability—rather than a document that sits on a shelf.

The session will emphasize how to translate high-level priorities into specific action steps aligned to roles, timelines, and available resources. Participants will explore how a responsibility framework can be used to assign clear Leaders and Collaborators for each strategic priority. By intentionally defining ownership and support roles, schools can ensure progress without overloading individuals or creating confusion about accountability.

Ultimately, this approach recognizes that school leaders are pulled in many directions and elevates strategic execution into the heart of the work, bringing clarity, purpose, and momentum to daily leadership. By breaking priorities into clear, manageable actions, schools operate with greater efficiency while creating space to pause, reflect, and see how small and big wins come together over time. That perspective is deeply affirming, reminding leaders that their efforts matter and that a well-run strategic plan can deliver not only results, but genuine joy and shared purpose.
