Set Sound Strategy
Strategic Planning for Schools
At Educators Collaborative, we partner with schools to create strategic plans that are deeply personalized, data-driven, and mission-aligned. We go beyond traditional consulting by involving your entire school community in the process, ensuring the plan reflects your unique culture and values. Our collaborative approach leads to actionable goals and clear strategies, and we remain engaged long after the plan is developed to support successful implementation. Together, we craft a shared vision for the future that inspires lasting impact and growth.
Data-Driven Approach
We use both internal and external data to inform the planning process—not just aspirations.
Strategic, Measurable Goals
Our goals are strategic, realistic, and aligned with the school’s mission, ensuring measurable progress.
Living Document
A strategic plan is a dynamic guide for both short-term and long-term goals. We recommend annual updates to reflect new insights and evolving circumstances.
Building Community Investment
Developing a strategic plan is a collaborative process that fosters community buy-in for a shared vision.

“EC facilitated a highly organized, iterative strategic planning process that engaged both our team and Board leadership in seamless collaboration throughout. The approach focused not just on developing our plan but on creating concrete execution strategies, while our EC partner’s intuitive understanding of our school’s culture and challenges ensured the process was both strategically sound and authentically aligned with our mission. The result was a comprehensive plan with clear goals that truly reflect our collective vision and priorities.”
