Participants will:

• Know the elements of a strategic plan

We know about Vision and Mission statements because most organizations have strategic plans.

Strategic planning is “a deliberative, disciplined approach to producing 

fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization (or other entity) is, what it does, and why.” 

Bryson, J. (2011) Strategic planning for public and nonprofit organizations, 4th ed. San Francisco, California: Jossey‐Bass. 

Key elements of strategic plans include:

Rubin , Brent D. Excellence in Higher Education 2001‐2002, A Baldridge‐based guide to organizational assessment, planning and improvement.

Set short‐term/long‐term goals

Establish process (Who, What, How, When)

Define organizational Mission

Define organizational Vision

We will work through the process in a slightly different order.

Rubin , Brent D. Excellence in Higher Education 2001‐2002, A Baldridge‐based guide to organizational assessment, planning and improvement.

Set short‐term/long‐term goals

Establish process (Who, What, How, When)

Define organizational Vision

Define organizational Mission

A Mission Statement captures the purpose of the organization.

It conveys why we exist, anchors us, and helps us make decisions about where to put our efforts and resources.

Mission Statement 2004

Organizationally within Undergraduate Education, the Institute has University-wide responsibilities to promote and provide opportunities for the sharing of knowledge gained about the teaching and learning process; promote the combined uses of effective educational testing, learning assessment instruments, and teaching effectiveness feedback as important to the improvement of student learning; and promote sound teaching practices to enhance student learning.

Why differentiate processes?

Set short‐term/long‐term goals

Establish process (Who, What, How, When)

Define organizational Mission

Define organizational Vision

Establish process (Who, What, How, When)

• Why was it created?

• Why does it exist?  

• What work is it supposed to do

What is your CTL’s Mission?

Vision statements create an idealized future for the organization.

They reflect our core identity, assignmeaning to our work and 

focus on our future.

Developing a Vision Statement

• What would your institutionbe like if your unit were no longer needed?

• If your unit achieved its mission, how would you describe the state of teaching and learning in your institution?

• What would happening if you were 100% successful?

Strategic planning goals are different from learning goals

Goals are:

• at the end• specific• about the future• about what we will do

Activity: Developing Goals

• How will you know that you have achieved your mission?

• How will you know you are being effective or successful?

• What about your CTL’s work can be improved?  By how much?
