As a school board, you are accountable for the performance of your school or kura and play a vital role in deciding and leading future direction and performance.

Planning and reporting are important functions that support your ability to perform your role.

Setting targets for the coming year, regularly reviewing progress, and evaluating what has been achieved means your school and students will be better placed for educational success.

This workshop will provide you with an introduction to strategic planning and reporting and how this works in schools.

This training is suitable for new school board members or anyone looking for a refresher course.

Our workshops are focused on activity-based learning, and we recommend you familiarise yourself with the contents of the supporting workbook prior to coming along.
