Welcome to the Futures Planning Blog for the 2019-2020 academic year. The details below outline the purpose of the Futures Planning at AISC, the members of the Community Planning Team, and the working document for this year, The AISC Futures plan.
Purpose of Futures planning at AISC
The purpose of our futures planning process is captured in the image below, and acknowledges that no single, predictable, future exists when it comes to long term organisational change. We realise that we are authors, and actors, in the possible futures of the school, and keen observers of the futures of the society we inhabit.
We use the Futures Planning process to
- To align mission with school goals
- To engage a framework for decision-making
- To connect present to future
- To integrate systems parts into whole
Within this frame, we can make informed, yet flexible, planning decisions, simultaneously working towards explicit deliverables in the short term, while paying a good deal of attention to how the world is changing around us and our community.
On May 9, 2019, the Community Planning Team came together to hear the final update on the goals that the school had been working on throughout the year. They then came to consensus on the essence of the goals for the 2019-2020 school year. At the end of the session the team learned about and discussed a range of topics, from competencies to environmental responsibility.
These goals have now been reformatted into the Futures plan for 2019-2020, which it is my distinct pleasure to share with you today.
The Community Planning Team for 2019-2020 is also convened, and the list of members can be found here
