Why Do We Need Goals? • “According to research, goal setting is the single most powerful motivational tool in a leader’s toolkit. Why?
Why Do We Need Goals? • Because goal setting operates in ways that provide purpose, challenge, and meaning. Goals are the guideposts along the road that make a compelling vision come alive. Goals energize people. Specific, clear, challenging goals lead to greater effort and achievement than easy or vague goals do.” (Blanchard, 2007, p.150)

S-t-r-e-t-c-h Goals "Stretch goals need to be high enough to inspire extraordinary effort but can't appear so unreasonable or unattainable as to discourage people from reaching for them. Good stretch goals move people's focus from a determination to be as good as we have to be and asks instead, how good can we be." -Noel Tichy, The Leadership Engine, How Winning Companies Build Leaders At Every Level
Connecting a Goal with Action • First, identify your current reality! • Ask yourself… • What is the data showing as the greatest area of need? • What specific skills and concepts must we focus on?
Connecting a Goal with Action • Next, determine the desired reality you want to achieve. This is your SMART goal! • Ask yourself… • What specifically will students do? • To what extent and by when? • As measured by what?
Connecting a Goal with Action • Ask yourself… • Is “what” we teach aligned with the standards? • Are we managing our instruction effectively? • Are we using formative assessment data? Are we adjusting our instruction? • Are we meeting the needs of our struggling students by providing additional time and support?
Team Goal-Setting Plan • In your collaborative teams… • identify area of focus • collectively create SMART goal(s) • commit to action • Reflect… Which part of this plan encourages team “buy-in”?
