6. GOAL FEEDBACK

7. Retreat Feedback: Overall Goal Map • Key Ideas: • Missing element of technology, how we manage data • Missing non-cognitive/social/soft skills • No mention of students in perspective 3  student voice/leadership • Missing language of achievement, rigor, relevance • Not all MPS values reflected in goals- diversity, sustainability • Add explicitly language that we are a ‘learning organization’ • All goals need to have an equity strategy, and family/community engagement strategy • We have 15 goals, how can we prioritize?? Should we? • Wondering about the visual  could we replicate the continuous improvement model? (circle diagram) • Plan is good work- our success will boil down to execution • Some goals are more critical than others (specifically 2.2, 2.3, 4.1, 5.2) • Not much popping out in goals about alignment • Some goals are process goals, some are outcome goals • Feels like “continuous” is not addressed • All- how this plays out will depend on what the strategies/ activities are • Anywhere we can infuse execution is powerful
