Christian schools work hard to achieve their God-given missions. Four key questions to consider regarding the mission are:

1. What’s your mission?
   
2. What’s your definition of mission achievement?
   
3. To what extent is your school achieving its mission?
   
4. How will you close the gap between current and desired achievement?

Answers to these 4 questions are powerful tools in helping your school achieve its God-given mission.

Just imagine the impact of having 100% of your school’s staff understand the:

1. Mission: To equip students to impact the world for Christ.
   
2. Definition of mission achievement: 90% of students at or above standard on all schoolwide learning outcomes.
   
3. Current level of achievement on all schoolwide learning outcomes—for example, 69% of students at/above standard on applying a biblical perspective of course content.
   
4. Strategic steps they need to take to close the gap between current and targeted achievement levels—for example, giving students 6 assessments per year that require them to connect course content, life experience, and a biblical perspective.
