EYE ON THE GOAL™
An inquiry cycle for enhancing student learning through continuous improvement of teaching, leadership and organizational practices
All students will learn at high levels when instruction meets their needs. What a student has not learned well yet, is something that she or he has not been taught well yet.
Student learning rests on the effectiveness of teaching practices, leadership practices and organizational practices. Therefore, continuous improvement of professional practices must occur before continuous improvement of student learning can be realized. The appreciation of this cause-and-effect relationship is vital to the success of leaders in focusing their schools on disciplined implementation of their plans.
Performance Fact's Eye on the Goal™ is a 5-step inquiry process for disciplined implementation and continuous monitoring of strategic plans, school improvement plans and operational plans. The Eye on the Goal™ process helps leaders guide the implementation of their most important priorities for each planning cycle. The process is equally applicable at the state, district and school levels.
Key features and benefits of the Eye on the Goal™ process include:
- Focus on continuous improvement of teaching practices, leadership practices and organizational practices.
- Frequent and timely data on student learning and the effectiveness of professional practice.
- Alignment of professional development to priorities in the improvement plan.
- Data Summit™ methodology that promotes data-driven conversations about student learning among staff, parents, service providers and community partners.
- Training and tools for leaders as facilitators of the Eye on the Goal™ process with their own teams.
Eye on the Goal™, in combination with the CPR Card™ and Vital Signs Scorecard™, provides leaders a robust "tool kit" for ensuring disciplined implementation, motivating performance, and staying focused on the core strategy.
