In Summer 2016, 38 members from the National Network for Educational Renewal (NNER) participated in a two-day strategic planning work session to better define NNER’s future strategic direction. The planning session included an in-depth analysis of NNER as it currently exists, including who is served by NNER, their requirements and expectations of NNER, current Network processes and activities, and Network measurement and feedback mechanisms. The analysis and resulting discussion guided the recommended next steps presented in this document, which provides measurable goals and actions that will be monitored and communicated broadly.
The NNER Strategic Direction Action Plan will continue the widely celebrated and highly regarded work of John Goodlad through a revitalized, enhanced mission, and it will be actualized through the recommended next steps determined by the Institute participants.
