READY FOR TAKEOFF

Last night I met with a terrific board at one of our ADVIS schools. An important item on their list this year is setting up a process for coordinating goals and evaluation.

If your school doesn't already have a system in place, this is a great time to make it happen. Goals for the year should be prepared by:

• Each board committee 
• The board as a whole
• Each trustee 
• The head of school 

If you have a current strategic plan, this year's portion of the work will be captured in your goals, of course. If you don't have a plan right now, setting coordinated goals may be the best thing you can do
