3. What is a SWOT Analysis A SWOT analysis is a way of understanding the  Strengths  and  Weaknesses  of your schools; the Opportunities that might be available; and the  Threats  that they might face. You can conduct a SWOT analysis with a variety of school stakeholders (parents, board members, staff and students etc.)

4. REMEMBER, WHAT GETS MEASURED, GETS MANAGED

5. SELF ASSESSMENT CAN BE REPLACED WITH SWOT

6. Strengths: What’s going right for the school The first step is  explore your good areas; It’s easier to write down overall strengths, then narrow to the specifics. To prevent thought-block, consider if these strengths are relevant to your school. An abundance of co-curricular activities. Highly-trained teachers Strong financials Good results Great location You need to know existing strengths to keep them as strengths. And plan how to  enhance  them to see more benefits. Once you feel it’s complete , we move onto the “W” in SWOT analysis:  weaknesses .

7. Weaknesses: What’s holding the school back When we acknowledge weakness, we’re one step closer to creating a plan of attack. The plan will eliminate or reduce any impact the weakness may have on the school . Not enough co-curricular and sports activities Lack of funding for specific sports/programs Not enough staff/faculty members Staff unable to meet with parents Lack of proper training for faculty An overabundance of students. Poor internal communications . Poor testing scores Bad reviews online

8. Opportunities: The positive changes for your school SWOT analysis helps us to identify opportunities to benefit the school. And we also have the ability to  create  opportunity -— especially now that we’ve identified weaknesses . Let’s look at how we can turn a weakness into an opportunity . Weakness:  Poor testing scores . Opportunity:  Introduce a new program designed to help students, after school or during their lunch period, to address previous test concerns . This new program will assess students’ ability to understand the curriculum. Not only will the students receive the help they deserve, the school will be praised by students and parents alike.

9. Opportunities: The positive changes for your school Another weakness turned opportunity… Weakness:  Bad online reviews.

10. Opportunities: The positive changes for your school Another weakness turned opportunity… Weakness:  Bad online reviews . Opportunity:   Respond to these reviews professionally, while also highlighting how the school plans to correct the issues presented in the reviews . This shows the school is actively assessing problems and seeking out methods to correct said issues. It’s damage control. Without it, the reviews could get out of hand and fully tarnish the school’s reputation.

11. Opportunities: The positive changes for your school Other opportunities to include : Activate a volunteer committee for school related events Seek out new investors and funding for programs Ask students and parents for feedback Highlight new program developments

12. Threats: Where weaknesses develop for your school We acknowledge threats to create a plan. Because if we don’t understand the threat, it can’t be dealt with accordingly. Let’s look at some threats: Poor planning of curriculum/activities Too much internal communications Lack of internal communications New high school development Infra structure complications Parent complaints Lack of funding
