In this episode you’ll hear from Tess, an ISP student, and Deb, the consultant guiding ISP in its Towards 2027 strategic planning process. Tess and Deb are both members of the Towards 2027 strategic planning steering committee along with the head of school, the president of the board of trustees, the high school principal, two members of our teaching staff, two parents and myself (your host, Steph), representing the ISP admin and business staff. Our main responsibility as a committee is planning an inclusive workshop on October 8th and 9th, during which a cross section of the ISP community will co-create strategic statements. These statements will ultimately shape the school’s actions and priority setting during the next five years.
At the top of the podcast you'll hear a few excerpts from our conversations, which I think give you a good idea of why being involved in strategic planning is so important to both Tess and Deb. Listen as they explain the importance of strategic planning, how it can give voice to many members of the community and how it can help us confront, and maybe even solve together, some of the challenges facing schools in today’s increasingly complex world.
Get involved! If you have questions about the Towards 2027 strategic planning process or if you want to contribute your questions or stories to the process, please email communications@isparis.edu.
