SMART Goal Evaluations The SMART Goal evaluation is the link from the 14-15 Single Plan for Student Achievement to the 15-16 Single Plan for Student Achievement This is different than the SMART Goal Verifications in years past In preparation for Federal Program Monitoring visit to be held in February 2016 Will begin with guiding questions These are determined by the district, and will be prepopulated Are rhetorical, and are answered by the evaluation process
28
Guiding Questions
29
SMART Goal Verification
30
SMART Goal Evaluation For each item in the action plan, you must: Tie it to one or more SMART Goals Evaluate “What worked” Evaluate “What didn’t work” Determine “What modifications will we make to the plan”
31
SMART Goal Evaluation
32
Conclusion Will end with a one or two paragraph summary of the modifications to overall program at your site based upon the individual action plan evaluation
33
Other Considerations This should be done jointly with the School Site Council Not, the AP writes it and the SSC rubber stamps it Document the process in your SSC minutes Many plans currently have a significant number of action steps on their plans Considering focusing your action plans in the 15-16 SPSA and beyond This will help narrow down the number of initiatives you are monitoring This will help with the eventual evaluation in 16-17
