This course will enable participants to clarify their own school or college's developmental priorities, using tried and tested diagnostic methods grounded in theory and practice.

Participants will explore effective strategies to ensure that plans are focused on clear measurable and time specific outcomes; and that a wide range of stakeholders has ownership the plan.

During the day, participants will be led through the planning, implementation and review cycle; considering issues around the leadership and management of change, involving stakeholders, effective budgeting; and quality control.

By the end of the course, participants will leave with the tools and ideas to plan and implement a highly effective, closely monitored and target driven improvement plan for their school or college.
