When writing a mission statement, consideration When writing a mission statement, consideration should be given to the following:        Who we are?        What do we do?        For whom do we do?        Why do we do it?        Why are public resources devoted to this effort?

Three Basic Questions What are the opportunities or needs the organization address? What does the organization do to address those needs? What principles and values guide the organization?

Mission Statement Criteria        Identify the overall purpose for the existence of the agency (statute, rules, executive order etc)        Identify the basic needs or distinct problems that the agency is designed to address        Identify clients, customers (both internal and external) of an agency        Help identify customer and stakeholders expectations/requirements/services/products provided to meet these requirements, processes and resources used to satisfy these requirements Lead to the development of performance measures that reflect customer and stakeholder requirements

Where do values come from?

Principles also:       serve as criteria to guide decision-making at all levels of an agency       express the common values that can be embraced by the whole organization       are powerful instruments for changing organizational culture       motivate employees How an individual believes children learn will greatly determine the methods used to teach.
