Progress to Goals:
Quarterly Performance Check-in
Goals & performance Pay
This section of The PLA Coaching Cycle allows for principals to discuss their PTG each quarter with their manager. Goals keep us focused on the intended outcomes. If we don't periodically check in, understand the progress to our goals, and adjust our actions, it will be difficult to meet our goals by the end of the year.
Each principal will choose three top-line goals that support our overall network goals. These three goals will factor into overall performance scores and performance pay if your board has approved this. In addition, each leader will choose 2 goals that do not factor into your overall performance score and there is no performance pay associated with them. In all, each leader will have 5 total goals.
Goal Setting Window:
September 30th - December 31st
