| VITAL SIGNS SCORECARD™
 Motivating performance by focusing attention on the strongest levers for change
All leaders face countless decisions, priorities and contingencies on a daily basis! The most effective leaders, however, tend to have clarity about and a disciplined focus on the vital few indicators that will have the greatest impact on achieving desired results.
If a leader wants people to pay consistent attention to what matters most, then she or he must define those vital signs up front. School leaders who define their key performance indicators in this way are able to focus people on the highest-leverage initiatives for their schools. They use the vital signs to create excitement about their goals and to guide their people in purposeful ways, in spite of the "distractions." Consequently, they can accomplish their goals more effectively and efficiently.
Performance Fact's Vital Signs Scorecard™ motivates performance! It offers leaders a simple, integrated framework for measuring, managing and continuously improving the indicators that are most essential to the success of their teams and their schools.
Key features and benefits of the Vital Signs Scorecard™ include:
- Consistent focus on the leading indicators of student learning and achievement, so that changes to professional practice can be made in a timely manner.

- Ongoing monitoring of the key indicators of effective teaching practices, leadership practices and organizational practices.

- Data-driven feedback on the progress of the strategies outlined in the strategic plan, continuous school improvement plan and operational plans.

- Easy-to-understand means of communicating progress internally and externally, thereby strengthening buy-in and commitment.

- Access to a network of tools, leaders, practitioners and coaches.
The Vital Signs Scorecard™, in combination with Eye on the Goal™ and CPR Card™, provides leaders a robust "tool kit" for ensuring disciplined implementation, motivating performance, and staying focused on the core strategy.
