The thinking behind this plan

Mike Schmoker

Focus: Elevating the Essentials

Do less, then obsess. Radically prioritize a small number of essentials, coherent curriculum, sound instruction, and authentic literacy, and pursue them with continuity all year long rather than spreading thin across many initiatives.

Kim Marshall

Rethinking Teacher Supervision and Evaluation

Improvement is monitored through short, frequent, unannounced classroom visits paired with prompt, face-to-face coaching, not one annual event. Plan for evidence you can see weekly and turn it into a quick conversation.

A nod to 4DX

The 4 Disciplines of Execution

We borrow one useful habit: act on the lead measures you control week to week, keep a simple scoreboard the team can read at a glance, and meet on a regular cadence to review it.

How it works

  1. 1

    Complete two goals

    Work through both goal cards below, one section at a time. Each field includes a prompt and a worked sample you can expand for reference.

  2. 2

    Keep it granular

    Name the specific classrooms, grade levels, student groups, and weekly actions. Vague goals do not move. Specific leader actions do.

  3. 3
