Vision Statement Refinement
Objective:
To refine your initial vision statement, incorporating insights from the "Bridging Gaps" exercise and ensuring the vision is clear, compelling, and truly reflective of the district's future aspirations.
Instructions:
Start by revisiting your first draft vision statement. Read it slowly, and consider the feedback and insights from the "Aspirations vs. Realities," "Lessons Learned," and "Bridging Gaps" analysis.
Look for areas in your vision statement that could be clearer or more precise. Are there any vague terms or jargon that could be simplified or explained?
Ask yourself:
  • Are they necessary?
  • Do they add value or clarity?
  • Could you make your point more clearly with fewer or different words?
Ensure your vision statement is not just a reflection of where the district wants to be but also serves as a source of inspiration and motivation for all stakeholders.
