Springboard Trust’s Strategic Measurement for Schools programme with its Balanced Scorecard (Kaplan & Norton, 1992) framework is a practical innovation in the context of school effectiveness and improvement. The programme supports schools to continue to transform themselves for the future.
In this session with Dale Bailey, Chief Executive of Te Uru Amokura Springboard Trust, participants will gain an understanding of:
- the Strategic Measurement for Schools programme,
- the Balanced Scorecard for School’s framework, and
- how the programme targets increased school effectiveness and improvement over the long term.
Short video clips are shared where school leaders present their balanced scorecard dashboard at the conclusion of the programme and their insights regarding how this has enhanced their leadership.
