Monitoring

​

Continued and Persistant Monitoring

Once achievement goals are clear, community conversations have begun to move forward, and instruction in areas of need begins to take place, the heavy lifting is over. However, the path is only just started! The Superintendent must ensure that a system for monitoring success (or failure) is in placed and is followed closely. Reports need to be given frequently to look for what is going right and where new supports may need to be added. There must be a balance between waiting for results and ignoring failure for too long.

Ideally, the Superintendent will see progress towards the goal of high acheivement for all students, regardless of outside factors. Successes must be clearly communicated to the community, while continued areas of need must be reviewed and addressed. Closing existing gaps in achievement will take dedication and a continued, long-term committment.

Remember - Monitoring is not the final step....It is simply a part of the **cycle**. It is crucial that data analysis, community conversations and improved instruction continue to occur simultaneously as students, issues, and goals change to meet the needs of the students.
