Why a Strategic Plan?

• Data indicates that participation in School of
  Education (SOE) outreach activities is declining
• Feedback from our educational community partners
  suggest improvement is needed
• The spirit and intent of the Wisconsin Idea is
  missing from many SOE outreach activities
• Outreach activities should be profitable to the
  SOE, not a financial drain
