Jennifer wrote a great article on this topic for ATLIS.
Yesterday I was listening to a webinar from Tim Fish, and he described the following:
Activity: write the mission in just 5-10 words (not the mission statement verbatim). Are we aligned? Do we need to do work on the mission? Followed by vision. Vision - the public story you tell about the future you want to see. Strategy - how we are going to get there.

Thank you, Daven, for sharing your vision statement. It is so helpful to have some examples to guide us in defining our own statements.

hi Susan - and thanks to those who shared theirs...here's our school's vision statement:
Digital Innovation at Children's Day School equips young thinkers and doers with emergent tools and models of inquiry that develop visionary change-makers.
In alignment with CDS' mission, beliefs, and values, digital innovation provides students with opportunities to become healthy digital natives, powerful storytellers, inspired innovators, ethical change agents, and engaged contributors to local and global conversations of importance.
Upon graduation, CDS eighth graders have the confidence to navigate, create, adapt, and invent with digital tools while staying grounded in who they are.

Do any schools have an Ed Tech or Academic Tech Mission and/or Vision statements they are willing to share? We are re-imagining support for academic technology and are curious how other schools define their programs through these foundational statements. Thanks in advance for sharing!
