What sort of tasks and issues can a SWOT analysis for Schools be used
for?
We will use an example of a teacher working within a first school who want
to improve the relationships with parents of his pupils.
TASK
1. Define the goal and measurable outcomes i.e. to have more than 50% of parents spending one day in
class per term
2. Consider the current activities you have in place to encourage parent-partnerships within your class/
school.
3. Complete a SWOT analysis, identifying your current strengths and realistically appraising your current
weaknesses. This can only be done involving other teachers, pupils and parents.
4. From the current analysis identify factors which could be improved
5. Identify opportunities that could be created
6. Put a plan and set of measures in place.
