Leading Vision and Mission


Overview – In Leading Vision and mission, the practitioner demonstrates their skills to utilize inquiry and research to evaluate and develop vision and mission to ensure peak performance within a school; facilitate a collaborative process with stakeholders to define and articulate vision and mission; and provides a plan with strategies, implementation timelines, responsibilities, monitoring process, and evaluation for leading stakeholders in the creation of a sustainable vision and mission.
