Comment on Regina Bush's post: I have been practiticing nursing for 40 years, I still work full time as a nurse and full time as a teacher......being current helps me relay theoretical knowledge for nclex and exit exams in a real world way, I also love including the errors I have made in my career of over 40 years so they can learn from my mistakes. I am 62 years of age and still work two full time jobs and love it!!!

Having a 5 year plan should include everyone in the school and everyone providing input to know that the school will be in business for a long time. 

research is important

I am new in education, and this module has been helpful to me to understand being an Executive Assistant to the President on how planning a new program works. 

I've completed many incumbent observations but had never thought about it from the standpoint of identifying good hires from future candidates.  This is a very helpful perspective for myself and my team as we complete observations.

I have learned about the new 10% rule for marketing.

I learned about the importance of library services to staff and students. 

Student services is a very important department has they help with student success.

I like the idea of a 5 year plan and having an Advisory Committee to help ensure the growth of the school. 

It is important to include a broad range of constituents to make the most out of the plan.
