Nhps Invites Comment As It Launches Strategic Planning Process

  • Dear Members of the New Haven Public Schools Learning Community,

    As we embark upon the journey to develop our next Five-Year Strategic Operating Plan (SOP), I extend an invitation to our learning community to provide input in this collaborative process.  The SOP sets our clearly defined priorities, goals and strategies to support student learning and growth. Our current plan expires June 30, 2024, and I am launching the process of developing a new SOP over the next few months. To be successful, we must engage the thinking of as many members of the learning community as possible.

    The SOP process will involve multiple stages and various opportunities for input and updates from all stakeholders. To ensure that we are engaging the maximum number of people in this process, we will utilize a platform called Thought Exchange.

    The Thought Exchange platform will collect your ideas in response to an open-ended question or thought and solicit your feedback on ideas expressed by others. All ideas are shared confidentially (click here for more information). Once participants have shared their ideas, they are asked to rate the thoughts that others have provided on a scale of one to five stars based on how much they agree with the idea or the importance of the idea. In the final step, participants can view how the thoughts in the exchange have been rated by the group. Click here to learn more about the steps of an exchange. 

    Unlike a traditional survey, participants are encouraged to keep coming back to share additional thoughts, read and rate what others think, and view direct responses to their thoughts from the exchange leader. 

    Below you will find the initial thoughts for your input and the timeframes for responding.
