Summaries of the Two Strategic Planning Meetings |
For
planning purposes we divided the process into two meetings:
|
One
was concerned with Adult Basic Education Services for Limited English
Speaking Populations |
The
other was concerned with Adult Basic Education and GED services to native
English Speakers. This
meeting had a focus on Youth - especially Out of School Youth |
We wish to express deep appreciation for all of you who
took the time out of your busy schedules to join in our strategic planning process.
For those who were unable to come, we trust that the following documentation
will illuminate the results of the planning process, and invite additional
information that is obviously still needed.
For those who weren't in attendance, each group was given
the task of taking the goal statements gleaned from the tabulated results of
the Implications for Strategic Planning Checklist you all filled out and asked
to identify objectives for carrying out these goals. This was accomplished by dividing the larger group into small
working group to work on one of the goal heading and the goals related to that
heading. It was a helpful part of the process to determine what might be the
barriers for accomplishing these possible goals and objectives, and what assets
are in our region to help carry them out.
For both those who came and those who didn't, please have
a look at the results of the meetings and see if there is anything more you
would like to add or if there is another way you might want these objectives to
be stated or identify other barriers and/or resources that relate to each
objective. Goal and objective statements may need to be teased out from each
other and we appreciate your suggestions for this as well.
In
addition, participants were told that there were 3 possible capacities of
participation for partnership members:
¨
Full participation-working hand in hand with ABE
providers
¨
Lending of expertise
¨
In a position of advocacy
If
you were not able to come, please let us know which objectives you wish your
agency to work on with us and in what capacity.
