A comprehensive school planning tool is available from General Learning Corporation and the Center for the Advanced Study of Educational Administration at the University of Oregon. This School Planning, Evaluation and Communication System (SPECS) provides a deliverable system of training, implementation strategies and materials and technical support services to educational organizations interested in new planning approaches. SPECS services include systems analysis, cost accounting, program planning, goal definition and assessment. All are designed to aid schools in planning and managing their programs, and budgets, assessing student learning and instructional activities, and involving the total community in the educational effort. Field testing of SPECS indicates that it can be successfully implemented and that it will provide school districts with the ability to gather information about desired and actual inputs, processes and outputs.
