How does that fit with the mission of the college or university?
Outline for a Strategic Plan for Distributive Education
Executive Summary
This section sets the background for the plan and generally includes the following subsections:
• Introduction. This subsection sets the stage for why faculty and the school are doing this. It addresses what is happening in the broader world, then locally, and then within the institution. It should answer the following questions: Why is the institution and faculty doing this? What are the goals? How will faculty and the institution define related terms? Some include a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis in the introduction. Others place it within the Details section as a separate subsection called SWOT analysis. Others place it in an appendix to the plan.
• Mission statement. What is the mission for this initiative? How does that fit with the mission of the college or university? The mission statement should include some of the language of the school’s mission.
