#59 Data Collection for SMART Goals

Reaching Struggling Learners

Send us a text

The last few episodes, we’ve been talking SMART goals….but not like what we hear in our professional development sessions.

In pd, we hear all about how SMART goals are the key to school improvement. Administrators and gurus focus on how this tool can be used to raise school grades, standardized test scores, and eventually improve student learning.

While all that sounds great, I respectfully disagree. SMART goals are most effective when we focus on the individual skill deficits that our students have, and filling in those gaps to make big gains.

Figuring out how to actually make those gains is what we are going to talk about this week!
