Developing Rhode Island’s PK-12 education strategic planning process
"We came up with this crazy idea that instead of [RIDE] developing the plan, we’ll ask community members to do it.
We knew it was right, but it was scary.
This is going to be a plan that RI is going to take and use for the next 5 years to do amazing things for the children of the state."
Design-Based Process
Curious about how we designed and implemented a community-based, crowd-sourced strategic plan for public education in Rhode Island? Here we share a narrative of how we designed and implemented this unique strategic planning process. We have also posted the key materials used in the four phases of the process - from designing the process to planning for implementation. You are welcome to use and modify them for your own process (we removed any branding, and most of the files are editable).
If you have any questions, please contact us through the form or email us at [email protected].
You can learn more about the process at www.ride.ri.gov/Strategic-Plan.
