Admin. Council – Catchball Part 1 December 18, 2013
Section 1 – Setting the Stage for Sector Plan • Student First is about unifying and re-orienting the education system on what matters most - the student. • It is about achieving targets in the Plan for Growth and addressing local priorities - and then bringing them together in one plan for action – an education system plan, focused on shared priorities. • Student First means individualizing and personalizing the experience and support for each student by name, by strength and by need. • Student First is also about shining the spotlight on the pockets of excellence that currently exist. There is likely not a challenge in education that someone has not already tackled somewhere in Saskatchewan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Kpqj8tFHGnI
HoshinKanri Methodology http://www.flickr.com/people/eileensanda/ Turning Vision and Strategy into Results through Action
Basic Principles • Allows the sector to prioritize and sequence • Provides focus for the alignment of effort and resources • Utilizes collective knowledge: the insight and creative talents at all levels • Requires frequent measuring and rigorous review of results • Requires shared responsibility and accountability for achieving timely results • There is no “shame and blame”— there is “learn and improve.”
Terminology • Hoshins: Short-term (1 year) area of strategic focus for the sector • This will be the highest priority “must do, can’t fail” work for the sector • The sector’s resources are aligned to, and prioritized for, hoshin work • The key mantra for this work is “focus and finish” • Strategic Intent: A high-level statement of what the sector wants to accomplish. • Enduring Strategies: Broad areas of strategic focus. • Defines “What’s in” and “What’s out” • The “Big How” • Typically 3-5 years, but may be longer
