Charter schools are often guided by multiple plans, each with unique requirements and goals. Based on the real-world experience of Bromley East Charter School, this session will help participants examine how to connect and align these planning efforts to strengthen coherence and improve student outcomes.
Presenters will share a framework for coordinating change, highlight strategies for maximizing impact, and discuss common pitfalls to avoid. Learn how Bromley’s approach not only created coherence but also addressed a variety of different needs. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, reflect on their current practices, and consider practical steps to better integrate their planning processes.
