PEARS Annual Planning

At MSU Extension we make team action plans, individual action plans, and individual professional development plans each fall for the upcoming calendar year. This site outlines due dates, instructions, and training sessions.

Preparing for 2026 Action Planning

Setting Group Goals for Growth Training

We recommend that work teams hold time on August 6, 2025 from 9:00am-12:00pm to participate in the Setting Group Goals for Growth (SG3) facilitation process, which can help direct your team action plan.

MSU Extension and the National Charrette Institute are excited to offer the Setting Group Goals for Growth (SG3) workshop online just for MSU Extension internal teams. SG3 is a half-day interactive session designed for groups or teams that are looking to develop goals, priorities, work plans, or some other type of plan. During the SG3 workshop, MSU Extension teams of 4-10 people will engage in a personalized team visioning session with a MSU Extension facilitator that will helpthem identify 5-7 priorities for future action.
