Organisational learning: building the future of a school

Abstract

This article builds on an earlier one which we published in this journal, in which we proposed a new model for school planning. In proposing the new model, we recognised that it provided a framework for school planning but that it did not discuss the process of building a plan for the school’s future. Here we explain how the new model has developed and how we now propose to link it to important aspects of organisational learning such as the development of the school’s core purpose and values. This linkage, and the ongoing involvement of a range of stakeholders, should help to ensure that the school learns strategically so that plans are effective and there is no gap between strategy and implementation.
