14. Step 5: Add key actions and benchmarks • Goal Statement: • What do I want to accomplish by when?

15. Key Actions: what will I/we do to achieve to accomplish it? 1. This summer I will read Doug Lemov’s Teach Like a Champion, review at least 5 of the videos that accompany it, and identify at least 5 rituals, routines and or responses described in the book to use in my classroom. 2. By January, I will identify and use 5 additional techniques from the book in my classroom. 3. I will ask my department head to observe at least 3 times each trimester and give me feedback on how “fluently” and appropriately I am using these techniques and their impact on student behavior.

16. Benchmarks: how will I/we know if I am on track to accomplish it/have accomplished it? 1. At my mid-year review, I can identify the 10 techniques I’ve chosen, describe in detail two of them to my department head, and explain to my department head why I’ve chosen these 10 and what I’m learning about how to use them effectively in my classroom. (process outcome) 2. At my mid-year review, and again at end-of-year review, my analysis of observer feedback and other data reveals that student behavior is more consistently positive than last year. (outcome benchmark)
