Highlighting Leadership Excellence at Bethany Community School
Under the leadership of Jeff Morris, now in his third full year, Bethany Community School has gained incredible momentum in the community. Through a series of strategic sessions with their whole staff, key teacher leaders and board, they revised their mission, adopted strategic goals, and expanded their leadership team.
BCS Mission: To provide a rigorous and nurturing learning environment that empowers students to become lifelong learners and responsible citizens.
As a result, they have grown enrollment by over ten percent (more than 100 students and raised their overall academic proficiency by eight (8) percentiles!
I believe this is the result of having clarity and executing their plan.
Recently, I had the pleasure of facilitating a session with the Bethany team using the Leadership Game. This engaging activity focuses on key leadership principles and self-reflection, building the framework for the six questions to organizational health:
1. Why do we exist?
2. How do we behave?
3. What do we do?
4. How will we succeed?
5. What’s most important right now?
6. Who is responsible for what?
The team worked through their roles and goals, taking the time to develop a skinny strategic plan and create a 90-day road map toward their objectives. This focused approach is designed to enhance organizational health and drive success.
Bethany Community School’s commitment to strategic planning and leadership development has set a strong foundation for continued growth and achievement. I am excited to see the positive impact of their efforts on their students and Rockingham County community.
Tune in next week for more highlights from our Inner Circle Community.
Keep making a difference,
LBL Team
