Ultimately, educational performance is driven by the performance of students and educators. It makes sense, then, that everything we do to improve education should be focused on making both of these groups more successful. This means providing our students and teachers with the capabilities, motivation and resources they need to make the most of their talents.
This map is intended to help all of us understand and discuss the factors that drive educational performance. It is not perfect and it is not complete, but it can serve as a tool for focusing and accelerating our individual and collective performance improvement efforts. To get started, ask yourself the questions below.
Which Performance Drivers (orange boxes) are most in need of improvement for my child, class or school?
Identify which of the orange boxes are most important right now. There are many things you can do, and this will help you prioritize.
Which Assets and Enablers (blue-green boxes) are key to improvement in the high-priority areas?
Identify which of the blue-green boxes are most important for the orange boxes you selected. This will help you focus your improvement efforts on key skills and resources.
What Actions (bottom-level activities) can we take to start making needed improvements?
Identify actions (bottom-level of the map) you can take to strengthen the key skills and resources you have chosen. This will provide ideas that jumpstart your creativity and progress.
