Who are You?Name, District, Title
deck developed with support from Marie Phillips, Willa Spicer, and publically available DOE documents
Objectives: today we will..
1. re-establish the context for
administrative goals
2. explore a process for building
administrative goals
3. collectively consider best practices for
developing goals
4. apply the learning to choosing, writing,
or improving your administrative goals
Reestablishing the Context
….of administrative goals
Moving From Pilot to Regulation: The Essential Question
What are the behaviors that we want to induce from school leaders?
Guided by the ISLLC standards:
◦ Committing to student achievement. School leaders need to be vested in the SGPs, SGO’s coming from their buildings.
◦ Prioritizing the conditions that allow teachers to do their best work. Things like school climate, and organizational planning.
◦ Strengthening the ability and attitude that get the best people to work in our classrooms and getting the people that work in our classrooms to be the best they can be: the evaluation leadership.
Why……….A summary statement from the research:
o “Although the direct effects of school leadership leading to
increased student achievement are weak, school leaders indeed
play an important role in indirectly impacting student achievement
by forming and facilitating an educational culture that breeds
student success through collaboration and team oriented models.
(Chrispeels, Burke, Johnson & Daly, 2008; Leithwood & Mascall,
2008; Robinson, Lloyd & Rowe, 2008) Kruger, Witziers and Sleegers
(2007) postulated that “leadership is no longer proposed as having
a direct influence on learning outcomes, but as having an indirect
influence through the way it has an impact on instructional
organization and culture” (p. 3)”. EFFECTS OF LEADERSHIP STYLES AND STUDENT ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

YOU!
So…Administrative Goals Weigh Differently for Different Principals
Goals valued at 10%-40% of summative based on type of school
a) Multi-Grade SGP = 10%
b) Single Grade SGP = 20%
c) Non-SGP School = 40%
How many goals will you set?
From Context to Process: Outstanding Decisions for
Districts
1.How many goals will each administrator set?
2.Who will select the area of
focus?
3.How much alignment will be required, vertically and horizontally?
GOAL SETTING PROCESS
1. Examine the data ( & continue to re-examine it
throughout the process)
2. Identify an area of need (a focus)
3. Identify the target population for your goal
4. Establish your assessment instrument
5. State your goal in SMART format
6. Complete your districts’ form
7. Intervene, monitor, adjust
8. Analyze, summarize, and report out on end of cycle data

POTENTIAL DATA SOURCES*
● Standardized Test Data
● Students’ Classroom Performance in Specific Content Areas
● Discipline Statistics
● Attendance Rates and Patterns
● Graduation/Promotion Percentages
● I&RS statistics
● Survey results
*(using 3 years of longitudinal data for establishing a mean or a trend is considered best practice)
Best Practices for Goal SettingBefore
◦ Review District goals Building goals Multiple data sources
◦ Consider How you will influence
student achievement in the focal area you select
Can you collaborate on or around your goal other district principals in
similar programs) other building administrators Teachers
Can you leverage existing goals?
During◦ Communicate
goals/progress/challenges to stakeholders
◦ Implement strategies and adjust
if they are not working data collection as
needed
After◦ Reflect
What went well What would you do
differently
