Uncovering Opportunities for Growth: The Institutional Assessment

Schools are constantly evolving and facing unique challenges.  There are certain, identifiable moments that are new chapters in a school’s history.  These include a head of school transition, a new strategic plan, and a new capital campaign.  Before any of these momentous events, school boards and school leaders should consider an Institutional Assessment. 

An Institutional Assessment goes beyond a superficial analysis. It dives deep into the school's culture, examining its past and present state, to identify specific areas that require focused attention. By conducting this comprehensive assessment, it delivers an honest evaluation of the school's current position and its potential for growth in the future.

To ensure accuracy and thoroughness, an Institutional Assessment involves a meticulous 360-degree analysis. No stone should be unturned as perspectives are gathered from various stakeholders, including the school, its constituents, departments, and historical and current data. This holistic approach provides a comprehensive view of the institution's strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities.

An Institutional Assessment will empower the school leadership with actionable insights that can guide them towards positive change and growth.  An Institutional Assessment should be a living and meaningful process. The assessment serves as a catalyst for positive change, enabling the institution to unlock its true potential.
