With
a group of 5 or 6 colleagues from your school, brainstorm
about your school's strengths and weaknesses, and
the opportunities and threats that it faces.
A
SWOT analysis is a useful tool, however, it is not
easy to use, so practice can help to improve the
collaborative, planning process.
Before
starting, explain to your colleagues what is meant
by a SWOT analysis and provide them with examples
(sample
SWOT analysis of Nkazimlo Primary School) as
included in the introduction to this activity.
When
doing the brainstorm of your school, answer these
questions:
What strengths can you identify?
What weaknesses?
What opportunities exist in your school's context?
What threats exist in your school's context/environment?
For
your brainstorm with colleagues at the school, create
a SWOT template on flip chart paper, a white board
and/or on a blackboard. You may even want to work
around a computer to do the SWOT. If you work on
the general
SWOT analysis of our school template, save this
as a file called
School SWOT analysis.
