Surveying the future: an innovative tool for expressing stakeholder vision as demonstrated in Lawrence Township public schools

<p>The purpose of this study is to create a survey instrument that will allow all stakeholders in a school district to share their thoughts, opinions, and attitudes regarding their vision for the future.

This survey can serve as a benchmark, against which a school district can measure progress toward its goals. The survey instrument will also be a template, which can be used by other organizations to assess their publics' vision for the future.</p> <p>This study builds on previous research by incorporating the suggestions of education, planning, and management experts in the creation of a new survey instrument. This instrument was utilized to assess the vision of stakeholders in the Lawrence Township School District in Lawrence Township, NJ.</p> <p>The survey revealed key attitudes and opinions of Lawrence Township stakeholders, which were incorporated into a sample vision statement for Lawrence Township Public Schools.</p>
