What is Strategic Performance Management (SPM)? SPM weds strategic planning with performance management in a living system that provides direction for people’s work while allowing for innovation and course adjustment to produce better results more efficiently. Redding & Layland (2015)

If SPM is a solution for an SEA or LEA, what are the problems it solves?

Strategic Performance Management

What is a Strategic Performance Network? System SPM for a multi-organization system. A state system of support is such a system. Focus Sharpens each organization’s unique direction, enhancing that organization’s productivity in pursuing its own goals. Support Interlaced data create rapid circuits of information that activate responsive supports.

Facets of Strategic Performance Network

Casting a Strategic Performance Net Common Elements – but unique to each organization Goals (and goal performance measures) Strategies (and strategy performance measures) Milestones (implementation measures) Actions (implementation measures) Coded Elements –but unique for each organization Strategies based on practices within 4 Domains Strategies and related milestones and actions are coded based on 4 Domains

Category Coding (CST’s 4 Domains) Turnaround Leadership Instructional Transformation Prioritize improvement and communicate urgency Diagnose and respond to student needs Monitor short-and long-term goals Provide rigorous, evidence-based instruction Customize and target supports to meet needs Remove barriers and provide opportunities Talent Development Culture Shift Recruit, develop, retain, & sustain talent Build a strong school community focused on learning Target professional learning opportunities Solicit and act upon stakeholder input Set clear performance expectations Engage students and families in pursuing education goals

How would common elements and coded categories provide “interlaced data” and facilitate responsive supports?

To put it simply . . . Each organization (SEA, LEA, school) develops the common elements with its own content. SEA, LEA and schools form a System of Support with interlaced data and technical assistance. Technical assistance is responsive to each organization’s needs based on data.

Telling the System Story Goal Performance Measures Strategy Performance Measures Milestones (Implementation Measures) Actions and Output Telling the System Story Data at multiple levels forms a throughline or theme to tell the system’s as well as each organization’s performance story. Reported routinely in performance and innovation cycles.

Sense-making How would you connect the dots in a Strategic Performance Network? 4 Domains – Common Elements – Coded Categories Tomorrow's session will focus on applying the process through example and exploration.
