Results Orientation

“The rationale for any strategy for building a learning organization revolves around the premise that such organizations will produce dramatically improved results.” ~ Peter Senge 1994

Results Orientation means…A supportive culture with shared, collective, and agreed-upon:

decision making through researched-based information

common language

common, collective focus – ELOs

common measurable goals (S.M.A.R.T.), using our data

Results Orientation means…A supportive culture with shared, collective, and agreed-upon:

common commitment to all students learning (OUR students vs my students)

common commitment to adults learning

Levels of SMART Goals

Assessing SMART Goals:Process Goals vs. Results Goals

“Results goals focus on the desired result itself, not the

“process” or the means they assume necessary to achieve that result.”

Peter Senge, 1990. The Fifth Discipline.

SMART goal process

5 Whys…………………Why #1: Why do we have so many discipline referrals?Because a lot of students act inappropriately.Why #2: Why do they act inappropriately?Because they don’t know the rules.Why #3: Why don’t they know the rules?Because we haven’t explained and enforced them consistently.Why #4: Why haven’t we explained and enforced them consistently? Because we haven’t agreed on a common set of expectations.Why #5: Why haven’t we agreed on common expectations?Because we haven’t spent time together sharing our philosophy and

expectations.Action: Let’s make the time to do that so we all get on the same page……

The Handbook for SMART School Teams by Anne Conzemius and Jan O’Neill

80/20 Rule

• 80% of the trouble comes from 20% of the problems

• Focus on the vital few: focus on improving the few that will achieve the greatest gain. May be low in visability, but are high in leverage.

SMART Goal Action Plan

Collaborative Team Responsibility

• Provide the leadership team with a copy of their SMART Goal

• Report common assessment results to leadership team.– Collaborative Team Product Sheet– Excel spread sheet

• Report response of data results to leadership team

• Celebrate student achievement!
