SWOT Analysis
SWOT = Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats
A SWOT analysis “enables business entities to understand their Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats” (Fernandez, 2009, p. 36). Seneca High School is fortunate to have the facility and resources afforded from being funded by a nuclear power plant. We also have highly-motivated staff members that are student-centered. We have already determined some of the weaknesses and have addressed them. A new class is being developed for freshmen and incoming students that will help then become more familiar with the technologies used at Seneca High School. The technology staff is very dedicated to researching and providing both current and relevant tools to assist classroom teachers where possible. Professional development has been a school priority for many years. The current internet has been a sever hindrance. The opportunity to increase bandwidth access will show a remarkable improvement in the student’s ability to access the internet for education needs. The new firewall will provide a more streamlined protection for students and faculty. Threats to the project will include the failure to plan for some of the more obvious circumstances. While it impossible to plan for every scenario, the more common ones have been thought about, discussed and debated.
