      What is your goal setting process? How often are you having those conversations with your leadership teams? What a strategy: to set goals at impossible levels and then figure out how to achieve them. That is innovative, strategic, and risk taking.

      This reminds me of a Clay Shirky quote: "A revolution doesn't happen when a society adopts new tools. It happens when society adopts new behaviors."

Collective Action Toolkit - 0 views

  •  
    Really interesting set of linked protocols for organizational planning. "The Collective Action Toolkit isn't a rigid template for problem solving. It's designed to be flexible and accessible, with an action map and activities arranged into six categories, from building a group, to imagining new ideas, to planning change. The toolkit challenges groups to move beyond discussion to action, continually clarifying their shared goals based on what they learn through the problem-solving process."

Teachers carry their views on evaluations from online to Albany | GothamSchools - 0 views

  • The teachers’ goal was to devise recommendations based on teachers’ own experience for what measures districts should consider when evaluating teachers, and how heavily each of those measures should be weighted.
  • focused on breaking down “the culture of ‘closed doors’”
  • Under the state’s teacher evaluation deal passed last May, teachers will be given a score on a new 100-point scale, with 40 of those points determined by student achievement data.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The remaining 60 points will be determined through “local assessments,” which will take forms that must be negotiated by school districts and their local unions. The law leaves open what those assessments could look like. Newly-developed tests or portfolio demonstrations of student work are two ideas that state officials have mentioned as possibilities.
  • One aspect of the local assessments is clear: they all must meet new regulations that are currently being developed by a state task force led by Deputy Education Commissioner John King.
  • The group ended up recommending that the 60 points be spread across five different evaluation measures, giving the most weight to observations by school administrators and other teachers in the school. A sixth measure — student portfolio work — was considered but abandoned, because the increase in paperwork for teachers seemed too high for the value the portfolios would provide for the evaluations, Anderson said.
