  7. What makes a strong instructional plan? • Questions you should ask yourself: • Does this plan lead students to transformational outcomes? • Is this plan as good as what students at high-performing schools receive? • Does this plan make sense for me and for my school’s vision/curriculum?

  18. Strong numeric goals in different contexts • If you’re climbing Everest, how far should you go each day? What are the best goals for time?

  19. Strong numeric goals in our context • In general, strong goals are measurable, they represent your individual impact on a group of students, and they are informed by our experience about what is most important for students • We use several numeric targets as strong proxies of the likely enduring academic growth we aspire to. • Some examples include: • 80% mastery of prioritized standards on teacher-created or –compiled assessments • Gap closure of 40% on state assessments (gap closed between our students and high-income peers) • High-performing classroom benchmarks (appropriate for some nationally scored tests) • 1.7 years of reading growth • 1.7 years of writing growth
