WEBINAR | Start with "Strategy" in " Strategic Planning": How to Shift Your School from a Tactical, Status Quo Planning Process to Implementing Data-Informed Strategy 
The pandemic forced schools to put strategic planning on hold in order to create entirely new ways of teaching, learning, connecting, and fulfilling their missions and financial goals. Today, boards and school leaders are increasingly recognizing that now is a vital time to resume strategic planning, but they’re also finding that traditional strategic planning processes are no longer effective. Schools need new ways of strategizing not to predict the future, but rather, to help shape the future to their school’s unique advantage. In this interactive session, Nishant Mehta, Allen Broyles, and Nikki Butts will share an actionable, four-step strategic planning process that can help your school ask the right questions, conduct research and analysis, and turn insights into strategic actions that are most likely to impact your school’s desired outcomes. Participants will leave with clear guidance as well as sample frameworks, exploratory questions, and resources to guide your school toward a data-informed vision for the future.

Webinar| Best Practices for Mentoring New Coaches
The successful integration of a new coach into a school and sports program can be challenging for athletic directors, especially if that coach is inexperienced or new to the area. A new coach may have many roles and responsibilities, including teaching, coaching, developing community relations, and even assimilating into a new community. Thus, the first few years can be daunting, and without proper support, the coach may not remain in the profession. This is a reality; coaches last on average about three years in the profession. This presentation provides suggestions and best practices athletic directors can use to facilitate mentorship of new and incoming coaches. Attendees will learn why mentorship is so important, how it can be developed within a school sports program, and suggestions for the mentor and mentee to ensure a successful experience.

Webinar | Don't Let Strategy Sit on a Shelf: How to Turn Your School's Strategy into Clear and Tangible Action Steps

Strategic plans are only as good as a school’s ability to execute them. All too often, strategic plans fall short because there are not clear objectives, initiatives, metrics, and protocols in place to define how progress will be measured, and, ultimately, how success will be achieved. In this interactive session, Nishant Mehta, Allen Broyles, and Nikki Butts will highlight how your school can move from strategy development to effective planning and implementation by creating a custom action plan outlining the systems, structures, capabilities, and resources your school needs for success. Participants will leave with sample frameworks and implementation matrices that can be adapted and applied to meet your school’s specific needs.

Note: This webinar is designed to build upon the previous webinar (“Start with ‘Strategy’ in ‘Strategic Planning’: How to Shift your School from a Tactical Status Quo Planning Process to Implementing Data-Informed Strategy).  FCIS Members can view this webinar by selecting “Archived Webinars” at the top of this page.
