Your Planning Partner, Step 1: Set Goals

We know educators are being asked to do more than ever, and educators know planning ahead is the best way to achieve your goals. As your planning partner, we want to help simplify the planning process so you head into each new school year fully prepared to engage and inspire young minds. Whether you’re in the classroom, planning for a school building, or planning for an entire district, we are here to help!

Set Goals to Achieve in the Coming School Year

The first step in planning your next school year is to set goals. Take time to evaluate what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what resources you need to accomplish your objectives for the year. And don’t forget to dream a little! You may be planning for the use of Title programs, Perkins, McKinney-Vento, school goals, or even district strategic plans.

To aid you on your planning path, School Specialty® has developed and curated content and planning resources to inspire new possibilities for your classroom learning environment.

Our Learning Spaces Gallery has a breadth of ideas organized into categories. You’ll find inspiration for modern classroom designs, physical education spaces, common areas, early childhood classrooms, sensory spaces, makerspaces, and cafeterias.
