Our work assists leaders in maximizing their effectiveness for the benefit of the organizations and the people they serve.<\/p>\n
The Leadership and Organizational Development team consists of more than 40 school leaders who serve as coaches, expert consultants and facilitators. The team is committed to being a resource and stimulus for schools and districts to grow and continue to improve, bringing a systematic, research-based approach to help our partners maximize their organization\u2019s strengths, while attending to their areas of needs.\u00a0 The team helps leaders and organizations identify their most critical goals, and develop initiatives and specific actions to achieve those goals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1620933490259{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #ffc70a !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”12662″ alignment=”center”][vc_custom_heading text=”Leadership development team” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

We use Bryson\u2019s definition of strategic planning as \u201ca disciplined effort to produce fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, what it does, and why it does it.\u201d We believe the strategic plan must be owned by a broad range of stakeholders representing the full spectrum of the school community. The process to develop the plan must be transparent and inclusive, while the plan must draw on the strength of the community, in a responsible and achievable manner. Most importantly, the plan must produce action. In order for the plan to be meaningful, it must ignite change that ultimately results in higher student achievement, improved student life, and a greater sense of fulfillment for faculty and staff. A successful plan ignites a passion for real and sustained improvement in the entire school community.<\/p>\n The Center does not create the plan for the district. We provide thoughtful support, facilitation and research to guide the school community through the strategic planning process. We work with stakeholders to help the district see its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. We will then help the district identify the most critical goals; we then work with the district to develop specific initiatives around the goals and support the district in developing action plans to achieve those goals over a three- to five-year period of time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Contact us to get started” link=”url:%2Fwarner%2Fcenter%2Fcontact-us%2F|||”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”3736″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1603122082857{padding-top: 24px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Administrative and board retreats” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Leadership planning and retreats:<\/strong>\u00a0We work with leadership teams, boards of education and community groups to build and enhance relationships to support increased efficacy and success.<\/p>\n Curriculum and program evaluation:<\/strong>\u00a0Teams of Warner School of Education experts are assembled to conduct curriculum and program audits, including reviews of programs for students with disabilities and programs for English language learners.
