The Problem With Your Mission Statement

Let’s be honest shall we? Most school mission statements are pretty useless. Sure, we write them, post them on our website, and put them in our strategic planning binders, but in reality, they read more like a game of “School Jargon Bingo,” than a compelling reason for our work each day. And that’s a shame really, because your mission statement, when built the right way, will not only inspire and unite your staff, but it will help everyone be more accountable and make better decisions (even when you’re not checking on them). So, on today’s episode, you’re going to discover how to use a counter-intuitive process that cuts through the nonsense and gets to the truth about your school. That way you can build a mission statement WITH your staff that gets them excited, focused, and committed to your vision. Listen in to find out how you build a mission statement #LikeABuilder.
