IMPACT COURSE

Aligning Mission and Finances

In the face of a falling budget, how does a school maintain a balanced budget while reducing expenses?

AISH’s Leadership Impact courses are for four weeks, approximately 3-5 hours per week. Based on the same topic as the Skills course, the framework reflects what we know about great learning. Goals and activities are customized around your interests and needs.  Joe Stucker will engage you and a cohort group in practical, job-embedded discussions and activities designed for immediate application and impact.  Resources are curated and relevant and you’ll have the opportunity to reflect on your experience in a forum of colleagues.

Impact Course Outcomes

• Utilize fiscal resource allocation principles and determine how effectively your school’s fiscal resources deliver on the mission.
• Draft an action plan with related steps for strategically aligning fiscal resources, including communication and collaboration components.
• Begin several steps of your plan to accomplish your objectives.
• Reflect upon the learning, utilizing the collective expertise and experience of the group, to promote leadership growth within ourselves and others.
